Week 3

During week 3 we were able to get the car to move, with one ultrasonic sensor working. However, what makes it a little different from last week is that we have logic that scans the area that is empty, then it starts a counter. The counter is used to see if the spot is open for a certain distance. If the distance is acceptable it starts to try and parallel park. The video below shows this.
The one problem that we have is that the tire is limited in its movement because the fender does not extend far enough forward, therefore the tire hits it at around a 25 degree angle. We think we can either cut the plastic a little or extend the fender forward more to obtain a larger turn radius.
Another little problem we ran into is that our cables for the breadboard were a little too thick which created a little resistance when the car turned. Therefore we purchased some very flexible wires which worked out much better.
