Line follower 11.jpg

A line follower built for as part of an electronics course. Design and construction is done from scratch.

Consists of elements from analog sensing, digital logic, and driver circuits.

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

Report

Below is the corresponding report and further details. It's in norwegian but it should be possible to translate it using some online service.
