Hi all,
I'm currently working on a rover project with some young engineers and we're trying to come up with ways to build an odometer. One of the ideas was to attached an alternating white/black disk to the (12cm diameter) wheel and use this colour sensor to check the segments as they whiz past. I know this won't be nearly as accurate as a proper odometer, but if we were manage to measure 1/8ths of the circumference of the wheel would be a good start. Does anyone know if that sensor is up to the job?
Any other ideas are much appreciated, we're currently also looking at hacking an old optical mouse.
Cheers,
Tom
