Robotics Programming: Photoresistors
West Monroe High School physics and robotics instructor Laura Duke introduced the campers to techniques in making the Boe-Bot recognize the differences in light and dark materials using photoresistors.
A photoresistor is a resistor whose resistance decreases with increasing incident light intensity; in other words, it exhibits photoconductivity. Photoelectric or light sensing devices are used in almost any branch of industry for control,safety,amusement and sound reproduction and inspection and measurement.
When using these types of resistors, the robots can be instructed to move along a path provided there is enough contrast between the light and dark areas for the robot to recognize.
