Exercises

These exercises will deepen your understanding of the topics covered in this chapter and make the robot’s code better:

  • All the preceding examples could benefit from the PID modification and printing menu in the UART command handler – consider adding it to them.
  • In the distance control, we set the derivative filter gain to 1, disabling it. How does this system behave with other filter gain values?
  • Instead of starting motions with the phone app, could you chain some of these movements together? Or even alter the phone G instruction to make a few motions with a single command sequence?
