7. Microcontroller
void forward(){
PWMDTY4=speed;
PWMDTY5=speed;
PTT=0x90;}
void stop(){
PWMDTY4=0;
PWMDTY5=0;
PTT=0x90;}
void left(){
PWMDTY4=(speed-decrease);
PWMDTY5=(speed/5); //slow down
PTT=0x40;}
void right(){
PWMDTY4=(speed/5); //slow down
PWMDTY5=(speed-decrease);
PTT=0x80;}

8. Results
The robot follows the line, but it
overcorrects some of the time at an
average of 21 seconds.
We slowed down the pulses in order
to increase it’s accuracy. With the
correction it still makes it around the
course at the same average of 21
seconds.

9. Summary/Conclusion
This was a very hard project but it was a sum of all that we learned so far.
Programming a microcontroller
Building a Power supply
Wiring and creating a circuit
The Axiom TWR-S12G128 kit was one of the worst ones to use. I think that there could have been something more
affordable in the market where it would have been easier to learn how to code.
