This module is a sub system for navigation is very practical when used in robotics applications. Equipped with 8 ports for sonar proximity sensor and eight ports for infrared distance sensor system can detect the distance of the 8 directions of the wind with two methods of ultrasonic and infrared. Ultrasonic method is used to detect accurately the distance to the object of a mirror that would interfere with the infrared method accuracy. While the infrared method is used to detect the distance to the object which the annoying squiggly accuracy ultrasonic method. The combination of these two methods will obtain a more accurate distance calculation.
By using Compass Devantech CMPS09 or CMPS10, the module can detect the 8 directions of the compass, the magnetic field strength, 3 axis acceleration and also can save the route of the robot direction, slope and duration. This enables the robot to track back toward home.
