Line Following Robot Project
The kit is based on using an Arduino. The vehicle uses a chassis with dual motor drive. The vehicle can move forward, backward and turn right or left. It uses a Lithium ion batteries to power the motor drive electronics. It uses Lithium batteries to power the Arduino. LEDs are used to indicate when power is applied to the Arduino and motor driver electronics. The vehicle uses two Infrared (IR) sensors to detect the line on the floor to keep it following the black line. A LED lights in front of the IR sensor housing will indicate if power is supplied to the sensor and when the vehicle senses the black line.
The kit includes a chassis for attaching the hardware, two drive motors with wheels, a motor driver module, IR sensors (2) and an Arduino Uno R3.
Batteries and chargers are included in the kit.
All wiring is included in the kit.
Assembly and electrical schematic drawings are included in the kit.
Soldering is required.
This project kit is for experienced STEM student.
Programming
The student can program the vehicle using C++ Programming. Example code for the Arduino will be included in the kit. Endless programming possibilities exist for programming the vehicle.
