How to use an inexpensive hall effect sensor and magnets to add another means of control to your robotic car. Magnets, embedded in the floor were one the first means of guiding robotic vehicles in industrial applications. In this video we explore using a hall effect sensor and a magnet as a stop sign.

Today was a short video. But things are evolving. Keep up !!!

Again, great piece of engineering.

Thanks, but right now (I am ahead about 2 weeks) there are some serious problems that seem insurmountable. First one had to do with a "random" time delay which I cover in the next video. Currently, controlling the motors reliably has been very troublesome, so bad I rewrote all the code for velocity and position control and changed out all the motor control components with no success. Going to be a tough couple of weeks ahead to get the next video made! Cheers! Chris

@@MakingStuffwithChrisDeHut In contrast to the common believe I'm convinced that computers are non-deterministic ;-)

@@GM-el2zb LOL I agree!!! I used to have Cats while growing up, I think Cats come back in a second life as computers. Most of the time they are great and wonderful things, then suddenly when you least expect it, hell unleashes a fury in them like no other and your week is ruined! Luckily this morning I found something in my code that may have been a "nasty cat" problem. First test I did after fixing it was great. Now I got about 3 days of testing ahead of me to see what else it messed up. Feeling good though, fist positive direction effort in over a week (my vacation week on top of it!). Cheers! Chris
