We basically need to divide this whole activity in the following two basic parts:

  • Scanning the environment
  • Deciding what to do with the perceived data

Now, let's first write the code and then see what we need to do: 

import RPi.GPIO as GPIOimport timeGPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)import Adafruit_ADS1x15adc0 = Adafruit_ADS1x15.ADS1115()GAIN = 1adc0.start_adc(0, gain=GAIN)Motor1a = 20Motor1b = 21Motor2a = 23Motor2b = 24GPIO.setup(Motor1a,GPIO.OUT) ...
