Design Plans & Annotated screenshot of 'Flowcode' designs




























Click image to enlarge (Source of annotated buggy Google Images)




The above image has been annotated to identify individual components/sensors, which are required for the buggy to operate.

Ultimately, the 'Flowcode' software can specify how each component/sensor behaves to a reaction e.g. LED may switch off when a bright light source has been detected by the Ambient Light Sensor (ALS).

The main sensors that help the buggy/robot to correspond to a change is by having specified parameters, which have been programed with use of an algorithm through the 'Flowcode' software. The parameters have to be specified for the micro-controller/CPU. The above example of ALS is controlled by an algorithm specified within the micro-controller/CPU.
The main sensors, which perform a function/s to a reaction by the set parameters within the micro-controller/CPU are Distance Sensors, microphone, light sensor (ALS) etc... If you click "Click image to enlarge", then you will be able to see the mentioned senors/other sensors that are annotated.
