Obstacle Detection: Edison V3 utilizes two infrared (IR) LEDs placed at its front left
and right, along with an IR receiver module. This receiver not only detects obstacles
but also functions as the core for IR data communications and remote-control
reception.
Remote Control: Thanks to the IR receiver module, Edison V3 can learn and
interpret IR codes from the EdRemote remote control and most standard TV remote
controls.
Infrared Data Communications: Through the IR receiver module, Edison can
communicate with other Edison robots.
Line Tracker: This system involves a red LED and a phototransistor, which together
act as the line tracking sensor. They not only follow lines but also decode special
barcodes, triggering pre-installed programs.
Light Sensors: Positioned at the front left and right sides, two phototransistors help
Edison sense changes in light.
Sound Sensor: Edison is equipped with a cool sound sensor called a piezo
transducer. It not only acts as a speaker to play sounds but can also pick up sounds
like claps.
Drive: Edison moves using a differential two-wheel drive system powered by its 3-
volt motors on the right and left sides. These motors come with wheel encoders,
providing precise movement resolution.
Infrared Data Communications: Two IR LEDs, used for obstacle detection, also
serve as components for Edison's IR data communications.
Sound: The same piezo transducer that functions as a speaker and detects claps
also manages Edison's sound outputs.
