Re: Ultrasonic Interference

We also have a similar workaround which uses encoder distance....but now we doing two tubes in auton. We need a fixed reference in order to determine or distance from the wall.

We cannot look for the end of line marker because of our arm geometry.

Perhaps we can take a series of snapshots on our way down....essentially halting the program and commanding zero pwm out of our arm joint so we can take a reading. We can then use encoder distance once we have a reference point.

Thanks for the help.
