Documentation

Base

The PikaBot Base can be initialised by decalring a new instance of the Base Object.

Base PikaBot(leftPin1,leftPin2,rightPin1,rightPin2)

After declaring a new instance of the Base Object, the following functions can be used to control the PikaBot Base.

powerBase(leftSpeed, rightSpeed): powerBase can be used to set the speed of the base. Speed can be any value from -255 to 255.

moveForward(speed): moves the PikaBot Base Forward at defined speed. Speed can be from 0 to 255.

moveBackward(speed): moves the PikaBot Base Backwards at defined speed. Speed can be from 0 to 255.

turnLeft(speed): turns the PikaBot Base Left at defined speed. Speed can be from 0 to 255.

turnRight(speed): turns the PikaBot Base Right at defiend speed. Speed can be from 0 to 255

Ultrasonic

The Ultrasonic Sensor can be initialised by declaring a new instance of the Ultrasonic Object.

Ultrasnic ultrasonic(echoPin,triggerPin)

double getDistance(): returns the distance of an object detected by the Ultrasonic Range Sensor. Note, distance is a double

IR Sensor

The IR sensor can be initialised by declaring a new instance of the IRLine Object

IRLine ir(analogPin)

bool onLine(): Returns if the IR Sensor detects a Line. Return is either True or False.

Misc

The pullup button can be initialised by declaring a new instance of the Button Object

Button redButton(pin)

bool isPressed(): Returns if the button has been pressed. Return is either True or False.
