The Maze
This project is intended to work on standard maze with diamensions of:
- Maze Size: 16 × 16 unit squares (Though code currently uses a smaller grid for testing)
- Unit Square: Each square is 18 cm × 18 cm
- Wall Height: 5 cm
- Wall Thickness: 1.2 cm
- Passage Width: 16.8 cm between walls
- Start Position: Located at one of the four corners, with walls on three sides
- Goal Area: Center of the maze
The Mouse
- Microcontroller: Mini Mega 2560 Pro Development Board
- Sensor: Six VL53L0X TOF sensors
- Motors: Two N20 motors with encoder
The project uses Arduino IDE for the main code.
