This activity features a program that displays what the Boe-Bot detects in the Debug Terminal as it sweeps the Ping))) rangefinder back and forth. Figure 1 shows an example with a cup and box set in the Boe-Bot's 180° field of detection along with their signatures displayed in the Debug Terminal. Experimenting with this program will help you better understand what the Boe-Bot can and cannot detect with the Ping))) Ultrasonic Rangefinder and Mounting Bracket, which is important for writing programs that navigate with this object detection system.
