Distance Sensor

[Bertha101]

I have the distance sensor built into my Bioloid, I was wondering how to use it and how to incorporate it into task codes.
Thanks!

The Sharp IR Ranger is connected to an analogue input port on the CM510 the value returned, when the port is read in a robo plus program, is not linear to distance and is in the range 0-1023!

A good approximation of the range in cms is 5524/Value returned.

Its good for ranges out to 80ish cms, google for a full datasheet on it.

How do i incorporate it into a taskcode?

[Fritzoid]

Take a look at the demo task program at label AutoWalkMode. The code goes something like this...

IF(PORT[5] > 200)
...WalkCommand = 3
ELSE
...WalkCommand = 1
CALL WalkExecute

WalkCommand 3 causes the robot to turn left. Otherwise WalkCommand 1 causes the robot to walk forward. A reading above 200 on I/O port 5 is the threshold for turning left. The DMS sensor is on port 5.

Just read the port you have connected the Sharp DMS to, convert to a range in cms if required.
If you put this code in a loop you can take different action in your program depending on range.
A very simple example to read the sensor and continuously display the range in cms is below:

I think this example could help you:

This example executes a block of code if the value of the DMS sensor connected to Port 3 is less than 500.
