How Roaming with Whiskers Works
The IF...THEN statements in the Main Routine section first check the whiskers for any
states that require attention. If both whiskers are pressed (
IN5 = 0 and IN7 = 0), a U-
turn is executed by calling the
Back_Up subroutine followed by calling the Turn_Left
subroutine twice in a row. If just the left whisker is pressed (IN5 = 0), then the program
calls the
Back_Up subroutine followed by the Turn_Right subroutine. If the right
whisker is pressed
(IN7 = 0), the Back_Up subroutine is called, followed by the
Turn_Left subroutine. The only possible combination that has not been covered is if
neither whisker is pressed (
IN5 = 1 and IN7 = 1). The ELSE command calls the
Forward_Pulse subroutine in this case.
