Field of View

Purpose
- to be able to find the area where an ultrasonic sensor can detect objects.

Materials
- 1m ruler
- tape
- a maker pen
- a can
- a robot with an ultrasonic sensor

Procedure
1. attach 1m of tape along the line the robot is going to face.
2. mark every 10cms of the tape (unnecessary but convenient when measuring distances)
3. place the robot at the end of the line facing the other end
4. run the program of detection of an ultrasonic sensor in the "View"
5. place the can everywhere in front of the robot and test whether it detects
6. while moving the can further away from the robot along the line, examine how far the sensor can detect side to side.
7. mark where the sensor could detect with tape
8. label positions of the tapes like coordinates
9. record the positions in paper just in case.

HaKyoon, Only use picture to illustrate your points... you may want to weave only the key images into your blog by using the 'left' or 'right' justification options. Don't just slap in a bunch of pictures.

Also... please switch your setting to make you blog site appear in English (I have to be able to read it too! :) )
