Line Follower #1 <-- Line Seeking Device (LSD) Part 4

Line Follower #1 <-- Line Seeking Device (LSD) 


Overview - Julian's & Eric's Line Seeking Device (LSD) 

This robot is a hacked R/C car, that will have an Arduino and / or a Raspberry Pi controller.

Current Project Status:


1/22/2018 -
1/19/2018 - Kicked off this project.  Initial platform was from a hacked Flea Market R/C car and is currently controlled by an Arduino
2/2/2018 - Got the senor for LSD or to follow the line. We have to learn how the sensor works and where to place it.
2/28/2018 - We need to hook up the QTR sensor in the front with the Ultrasonic sensor at the bottom and center.
to both program the sensors and movement of the car into one.

Next Steps:

List all the current steps in order of priority. Mark "Pending", "In Progress", "Road Block", "Done"
  1. Done Learning how the sensor works.
  2. Done Check how the ultrasonic sensor works.
  3. In Progress Sodder to extend wires from the ultrasonic sensor to the arduino. 
  4. In Progress Finding a code for the ultrasonic sensor.
  5. Pending Place the sensor in front and bottom of the RC Car.
  6. Pending Program once more.
  7. Pending Test drive.

Mechanical Configuration:

This section describes the Physical / Mechanical configuration of the platform... How does it work from a hardware point of view.

We wired the the motor and the steering mechanism to our arduino so we can command it to follow the line without bumping into anything.

Sensor Package: 


This section describes the Sensor configuration of the platform... What sensors are used and how do they work.  List them.

QTR sensor-sense the color of the of the thing it is sensing.Thing keeps the device from straying off the path we created for it follow.
