Line Follower Robot

Line Following Robot using ATmega8 Motor Driver Board.

Description:

Line following robots are a popular beginners choice. Its the most basic example of adding small intelligence to a robot, but its actually the designers intelligence!! After reading this documentation and going through the assembly video from our website, you will be playing with the one shown above. Moreover you can make it modular so that it can be easily modified in future.

The main electronics and mechanical components that will be used in making this line follower robot are two sensors made using IR LEDs, a ATmega8 based microcontroller board including motor driver circuitry, acrylic chassis set, two BO motors and wheels and battery holder.

Features:

• Compact size and easy to assemble.
•  Range adjustable sensors.
•  ATmega8 micro controller board with in built motor driving circuitry.
•  On board programming port which can be used for modification and upgradation.

Line Follower Robot Quick start Guide:

The Line Following kit includes everything you need to make a line following robot.

Requirement:

The micro controller board is preprogrammed as Line Follower so you will only need a power supply and screw driver set to build up the robot. We have provided a programming port so that if you wish to upgrade the algorithm or the application you can do that and for that you will just need a USB programmer.
