14. Case06 Reverse Stall Parking

14.1. Introduction

Hello, we have programmed the Ring:bit car to do a lot of things, we can also make it automatically drive to the parking lot. In this lesson, we will program to reverse the Ring:bit car into the garage, let’s start.

14.2. Hardware Connection

Connect the left wheel servo to P1 of the Ring:bit expansion board and the right wheel servo to P2.

14.3. Software Programming

You should prepare the programming platform ready, if not, please can refer to this essay:Preparation for programming

Sample Projects

# Import the modules that we need
import board
from ringbit import *
from picoed import *
from time import *

# Set the pins of the servos
ringbit = Ringbit(board.P2, board.P1)

# While true, set to change the speed of both wheels by pressing button A/B on pico:ed
while True:
    if button_a.is_pressed():
        ringbit.set_speed(-100, -60)
        sleep(3)
        ringbit.set_speed(0, 0)
    elif button_b.is_pressed():
        ringbit.set_speed(100, 60)
        sleep(3)
        ringbit.set_speed(0, 0)

Details of program:

1.Import the modules that we need. board is the common container, and you can connect the pins you’d like to use through it; ringbit module contains classes and functions for Ring:bit smart car operation and the random module contains functions to generate random numbers.

import board
from ringbit import *
from picoed import *
from time import *

2.Set the pins of the servos.

ringbit = Ringbit(board.P2, board.P1)

3.Set to change the speed of both wheels by pressing button A/B on pico:ed.

while True:
    if button_a.is_pressed():
        ringbit.set_speed(-100, -60)
        sleep(3)
        ringbit.set_speed(0, 0)
    elif button_b.is_pressed():
        ringbit.set_speed(100, 60)
        sleep(3)
        ringbit.set_speed(0, 0)while True:

14.4. Result

Achieve the functions of reversing stall parking and driving away by pressing buttons A/B on Pico:ed.

14.5. Exploration

How can make the Ring:bit car move forward and then reverse stall parking?
