ACTIVITY DESCRIPTION
The idea is to make aware the students of the huge sensors´ utility.
For this purpose, we will design a robot which will be able to find fire. Once the fire is found, the robot will emit an alarm message and will run to a "safe area”.
While the robot is running a timer stars, in order to calculate the distance from the fire to the "safe area”. The distance value will be shown in the led matrix.
In the meantime, the line follower sensor corrects the direction of the robot's way.
The activity consists on programming a mBot assisted by a laptop, whose function will be to detect fire. Later the robot will do some calculations and it will inform about the fire´s location.
In order to achieve this goal, students will have to learn the proper functioning of both, the flame sensor and the line-follower sensor. The students will also design a part of the code related to sound and text effects for the activity.
