title: Controlling a remote control car with voltage drops
body: <p>So my partner and I need some help; we are working on a final project which is for an electrical engineering degree. Our problem, no one really knows much programming in the class. We need help or some general ideas on how to program this.</p>
  
  <p>The project:</p>
  
  <p>We have a monster truck with two IR (infra red) sensors detecting it's path via voltage. with this we are using a free scale circuit board as the "brains" along with this we have a nerf "missle turret" to shoot through open doors (we need to do programming to note a voltage drop from the IR sensors. </p>
  
  <p>The programming:</p>
  
  <p>We are trying and struggling very, very hard to create the code for this we </p>
  
  <ol>
  <li>need a delay function in the start of the program to set the monster truck on the ground, after we need it to follow a straight line from a set standard of voltage that the IR sensors are reading on the ground. </li>
  <li>while it is going it will have a large V drop reading while it passes an open door, we need it to stop shoot and then follow it's path.</li>
  </ol>
  
  <p>I know it is a lot to ask but we are in a large need for help, our teacher while wise beyond his years in everything electrical (reminds me of doc from back to the future) the c programming is lacking and not too many here have the massive knowledge to use the C programming skills. 
  finally, once we get this working (mid may) i will post video if able too and show you all. I appreciate any input and any ideas for this, thank you all for your time!!</p>
