A PID in V5 will be almost exactly the same as a PID in IQ. The only difference is that you have access to better sensors and motors, so you’ll have a bit of a tough time with driving and turning.
I’m trying to make like a autonomous car and it kinda works like this so this:
The robot has a spinning platform mounted on top of its 16×16 drivetrain. A distance sensor is attached to this platform. As the platform rotates, the sensor continuously measures how far away objects are in different directions.
Each time the sensor takes a measurement, the robot records two things:
-
The distance to the object (distance sensor)
-
The angle the platform is facing at that moment (The degree of the motor)
Using these two values, the robot places a point on a top-down map of its surroundings. This works like plotting coordinates, where the angle determines the direction and the distance determines how far the point is from the robot (center of the map).
As the platform keeps spinning and collecting data over time (about 60 measurements in one minute), the robot gradually builds a rough map of the environment.
Once the map is created, the robot uses it to navigate. It can identify where obstacles are located and move around them without crashing.
