Well, it&#8217;s time to end bad high five experiences everywhere. Using some Digilent products, I was able to make a reliable high\u00a0five machine.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jetpack-video-wrapper\"><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"735\" height=\"413\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/W9OMSj7q-hE?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"autoplay; encrypted-media\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/div>\n<p>I started this project when I was creating a library for the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/pmodls1-infrared-light-detector\/\">PmodLS1<\/a>. I originally wanted to create a sort of metronome using two sensors and the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/gws-servo-continuous-rotation-s35-std\/\">Servo<\/a> motor. But then I thought high fives would be a billion times cooler!<\/p>\n<p>This program works through use of a <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/ir-proximity-sensor-2-pack\/\">Proximity sensor<\/a> and a <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/gws-servo-continuous-rotation-s35-std\/\">Servo<\/a> motor. The sensor is located in the hand of the robot. When the\u00a0other hand high fives this one, the sensor is activated, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/pmodls1-infrared-light-detector\/\">PmodLS1<\/a> tells the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/chipkit-wf32-wifi-enabled-microntroller-board-with-uno-r3-headers\/\">chipKit WF32<\/a> to tell the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/gws-servo-continuous-rotation-s35-std\/\">Servo<\/a> to rotate backwards, as if it was high fived. It waits a bit, then the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/gws-servo-continuous-rotation-s35-std\/\">Servo<\/a> rotates forward, ready and waiting for another high five to activate its sensor.<\/p>\n<p>This was a pretty simple project. The hardest part was calibrating the correct angles for the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/gws-servo-continuous-rotation-s35-std\/\">Servo<\/a> to turn. My first set of angles ended with the hand pushing forward too far, and the whole device falling off my desk.<\/p>\n<p>I also made a happiness function, in which the <a href=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/shop\/gws-servo-continuous-rotation-s35-std\/\">Servo<\/a> would rotate back and forward rapidly as if the hand was really excited and fist bumping. This <em>also<\/em> resulted in my device\u00a0falling off my desk.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_15649\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-15649\" style=\"width: 338px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"wp-image-15649 size-medium\" src=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/low-five-338x600.jpg\" width=\"338\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/low-five-338x600.jpg 338w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/low-five-768x1365.jpg 768w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/low-five-576x1024.jpg 576w, https:\/\/digilent.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/07\/low-five-675x1200.jpg 675w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 338px) 100vw, 338px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-15649\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Low five!!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you want to learn more about this project, check out my <a href=\"http:\/\/www.instructables.com\/id\/High-Five-Robot\/\">Instructable<\/a>.
