Line Follower #1 <-- Line Seeking Device (LSD) or Little Red Robot (LRR) - Julian Castellanos & Eric Nguyen

Overview - Julian's & Eric's Line Seeking Device (LSD) or Little Red Robot (LRR)

This robot is a hacked R/C car, that will have an Arduino and / or a Raspberry Pi controller. This robot will follow a line without crashing.

Current Project Status:

Update with date driven entries... as you enter entries, keep the latest at the top.  Also, when ever you post an update here, create a new Blog entry as well...

4/11/2018-We connected custom wires to connect the ultrasonic sensors to the Arduino.
3/19/2018- Testing out ultrasonic sensors to the Arduino.
3/12/2018 - Make compatible wire to hook-up multiple ultrasonic sensors onto the RC Car at once.
2/28/2018 -  Install the QTR sensor onto the car.
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 LRR to follow the line. We have to learn how the sensor works and where to place it.

Steps we solved:

1. Done Learning how the sensor works.
2. In Progress Program the sensor.

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. In Progress Program the sensor.
3. In Progress Hook-up the ultrasonic sensors onto the RC Car
4. Pending Place the sensor in front of the RC Car.
5. Pending Program once more.
6. 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. We also put a few ultrasonic sensors on the RC Car so it wouldn't fall off or crash into a wall

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.
