Micromouse

Competitiong to see which robot solves a 16x16 maze the fastest. Uses infrared lights to "see" walls of the maze.

I will attempt programming it in both Arduino and Rust to learn the pros and cons of each.

Building with Rust

Relies on teensy4-rs which has dependencies which need to be installed first.

Setup

rustup target add thumbv7em-none-eabihf
cargo install cargo-binutils
rustup component add llvm-tools-preview

teensy_loader_cli is needed to download programs to the Teensy.

Compiling

cargo objcopy --release -- -O ihex program.hex

Running

You will need a build of teensy_loader_cli to download programs to a Teensy 4.

Building with Arduino

Setup

• Install Arduino IDE.
• Get Teensyduino to add support for Teensy microcontrollers to Arduino IDE.

Compiling and running

Simply use the buttons.
