Linerover

Hey! Welcome to the official repository of my Autonomous Car called Linerover. During my first year of computer science, I worked on the Linerover, and it was the final product for the Project System module at Saxion University.

 

💻 Software

I wrote this project in C++ using the Arduino framework, which I learned by following multiple classes at my university and doing a lot of research online. By combining a very intelligent IDE like Clion by Jetbrains, and Platformio, I was able to write and test my code very efficiently.

Arduino Startup

#include "Linerover.h"

bool RUNNING = false;
bool LOGGING = false;

void setup() {
    // Configure the linerover logger
    if (LOGGING) Logger::configure(Pins::SERIAL_BAUD);

    // Linerover#startEngine() is used to enable the car, initialize all the controllers,
    // and make sure everything is ready before driving/looping
    Linerover::startEngine();

    // Set the global boolean variable to true for the loop function to start working
    RUNNING = true;
}

void loop() {
    // Having a while loop will give us the ability to stop looping
    // whenever we want, without killing/stopping the entire program.
    while (RUNNING) {
        if (!(RUNNING = Linerover::drive())) break;
    }
}

   

 

🔧 Hardware

The hardware for the Linerover was partly delivered to us, however, we were free to choose what kind of sensors we wanted to use.
