Document Summary
Two sensors on analog pins 0 and 1: light sensors, and slider sensors. Code can be extended for more than two sensors. For processing to be able to distinguish the data from the light sensor from the data coming from the slider sensor, values are packaged in different ways. All data goes through the serial port in the form of a train of bits. Variable to hold all values received from the serial port: Use the splittokens() method to look for certain characters in the string of values. How much you need to know about the motion of objects. Orientation-rotation around an axis (which way the object is facing) Velocity-how fast the object is moving and in which direction. Relative-the change in previous position of the object. Few degrees of freedom, the easier to work with. Senses distance of a body from the sensor. Video tracking range is adjustable depending on the zoom of the lens.
