Hey OTOS enjoyers,
I love the product and been using it for the last couple months. We currently use it in our omnidirectionnal robot, roughly 40cm accross and we had some good results and some worse results.
We've seen a deterioration in tracking quality (Robot is off by a couple cm after 3s of moving) in the last couple of days.
It seems to be worse and worse, maybe because the robot is moving faster.
We're looking for ways to improve tracking quality. For this robotics competition, it uses printed vinyl, which is'nt exactly like the FRC tiles.
What should we try to see improvements ?
- Sensor height ?
- Not using the LUT ?
- Calibrating the LUT ?
- Smoother accelerations ?
We've checked that the sensor is fully calibrated at the start, that is it isolated from ambiant light, and that it stays at a constant height.
What we are unsure of is the immunity to vibrations, and how it could worsen the quality of the measure.
Here's a video of the robot on the playing mat, when asked to simply go to +/- y coordinates:
