Maqueen Robot Plus V2 Issues – Moving Off Course and Line-Following Problems

Hello DFRobot community,

 

I recently purchased the Maqueen Robot Plus V2 along with a mechanic set, and I'm encountering some issues that I need help with.

 

Direction Issue: When I try to move the robot forward, it consistently veers to the right rather than moving in a straight line. I've tested this on multiple surfaces, including wooden and concrete floors, but the problem still occurs.

 

Line-Following Issue: I'm also having trouble getting the robot to properly follow a line. It appears that the line-following sensors aren't working as expected.

 

I'm using two micro:bits for control—one as a receiver on the robot and the other as a remote transmitter. Here are the links to the code I'm using:

 

Maqueen V2 Receiver Code: https://makecode.microbit.org/S39027-28347-49765-53251

Micro:bit Transmitter Code: https://makecode.microbit.org/S74058-50347-30808-45685

Line-Following Code: https://makecode.microbit.org/S69265-20327-97719-04054 

 

I'm teaching my son robotics, and I need a properly functioning unit for this. Has anyone else faced a similar issue, or does anyone have suggestions on how to fix these problems? I would appreciate any help or insights you could provide.

 

Thank you so much for your assistance!

 

Best,
Hasan

Line-following depends on the robot's ability to detect contrasts between the line and the surface. Problems can arise due to calibration, sensor position, or ambient lighting.

In the receiver code, you can adjust the maqueen.motorRun commands to balance the speeds of the left and right motors.
