Write a Micromouse maze-solving algorithm with Arduino.

As in, run algorithm code on a physical Arduino board, rather than your computer.

For use with mackorone/mms, a Micromouse simulator.

1. Clone this repository
2. Connect your Arduino board and upload the mms-arduino.ino sketch
3. Download the Micromouse simulator
4. Run the simulator and click the "+" button to configure a new algorithm
5. Enter the config for your algorithm (name, directory, and run command)
6. Click the "Run" button

Windows:

Linux (Ubuntu):

1. The Arduino board sends a message to Main.py
2. Main.py forwards that message to the simulator
3. The simulator sends a response back to Main.py
4. Main.py forwards that response back to the Arduino board

The Main.py script uses pySerial to communicate with a running Arduino.

To install on Windows:

python.exe -m pip install pyserial

To install on Linux:

sudo python -m pip install pyserial

• You may need to download and install Arduino
• You may need to download and install Python
• Spaces in file paths are not allowed, you may need to change the default Python install path
• The --port argument can be found in the Arduino IDE via Tools -> Port
• The --baud argument needs to match Serial.begin() in mms-arduino.ino
• Make sure the Arduino board is connected to your computer before clicking "Run"
• After clicking "Run" it takes a few seconds for Main.py to establish a connection with the Arduino
• Descriptions of all available API methods can be found at mackorone/mms#mouse-api
• The example code is a simple left wall following algorithm
