[IDEA] Has anyone played with Collision Detection? about bb8-commander

[Sud-Puth]

Hi Sara,

I tried to play with the collision detection when I was working on the
drive mode and I too echo your thoughts that the detection is unreliable.
It can be added as a fun feature but I guess cannot be taken for granted.

Hey all,

I've noticed the collision detection is hit or miss. I've followed this
Issue to tweak the sensitivity
sphero-inc/sphero.js#48, but it is unreliable. I
can pick up BB-8 and a collision is detected. But BB-8 can run into a wall
and lose its head and no collision detected. Seems that the collision has
to be at a certain spot on the ball.

Curious if anyone else has tried to play with collision detection.

Here's my code:

module.exports = function (bb8) {

console.log("Waiting for a collision");

bb8.detectCollisions();
bb8.color("green");

bb8.configureCollisions({
meth: 0x01,
xt: 0x20,
yt: 0x20,
xs: 0x20,
ys: 0x20,
dead: 0x50
});

bb8.on("collision", function(data) {
console.log("collision detected");
console.log(" data:", data);

 bb8.color("red");

 setTimeout(function() { bb8.color("green"); }, 1000);

});

bb8.roll(200, 0);
}

@Sud-Puth Thanks for the response! I tried adjusting the configureCollisions sensitivity to what I'm guessing is the lowest levels and still can't detect a collision. I'll ask on the Sphero repo if no one here has figured it out. Thanks!
