Outline

The project had the following outline:

• An autonomous unit following a dark line on a bright background
• Logic 1 (5V) when detector is over line, otherwise logic 0 (0V), CMOS technology
• Motors controlled by driver circuit
• Turn off when no line under detectors
• Steering right/left accomplished in 3 phases; straight ahead, 5 degree, and 10 degree
• Powered by a battery power-source
