Gyro Sensor
In Chapter 4, Sensors and Control, when we introduced the Gyro Sensor, we wrote a program that stopped the rotation of the robot when the Gyro Sensor reached a certain value. As we noticed, the robot always overshot this value. In Chapter 7, Advanced Programming, we tried to compensate for the overshooting with a two-level controller. Here we show a program where the measurement from the Gyro Sensor goes into a proportional controller.
You will find that this method is significantly more precise and useful in making exact turns.
The preceding program asks the robot to rotate through a given angle and slow to a stop. If we used a smaller ...
