Hardware Validation (Practical Testing on the Robot)

Once the FPGA is programmed, connect the robot hardware to test its operation in a real environment.

Validation Steps:
  1. Place the robot on a track with a black line on a white background.

  2. Power on the FPGA and the robot.

  3. Observe its behavior:

  • The robot should follow the line, adjusting its direction when detecting variations with the line sensors.

  • If the line is detected by the left sensor, the robot should correct to the right, and vice versa.

  • If the behavior is not as expected:

    • Review the demux2 selection logic.

    • Test the sensor inputs individually (IO68 and IO69).

    • Verify if the motor connections (IO54 to IO57) are correct.
