This example shows how to catch ping-pong ball recognized by vision module.
Code introduction: In initial part, vision module and servos are set to their ports. Vision algorithm is set to ball detect, and servos are set to initial position. In loop part, vision module will detect ball and judge the x offet and move the chassis.Then judge the y offset and move servos. Use the ball width to estimate the distance. When the width is above 27, the claw will close and catch the ball.
Phenomenon: Turn on MoonMech and it will open claw and look forward, with vision module LEDs shining red. Put a ping-pong ball in front of the claw, and the LEDs turn blue. Adjust the position of ball until the claw catch it.
