LINE FOLLOWER ROBOT

This robot is designed to continuously follow a black line painted on a


bright surface or a white line on a dark surface and take the turns along
with the line automatically. For situations such as cross over where the
robot can have more than one path that can be followed, predefined path
must be followed by the robot.

Overview

Line Follower Robot


Hardware components required and their purpose
1. Arduino UNO board
2. IR Sensor
3. Comparator
4. DC motor
5. Motor driver IC (L293D)
6. Wheels
7. Power adopter

 Arduino UNO board: This is the brain of this robot in which the
program is loaded to do the required functioning and is interfaced
with sensors and the motor driver to make the system work as
required.

 IR sensor: This senses whether there is platform in front of the robot


or an edge is arrived and sends the appropriate signal to the
comparator.

 Comparator: This gets input from the sensor, compare it with


predefined voltage and send logic 1 to microcontroller if there is
detected a still platform and logic 0 if edge of platform is there.
IR Sensor Circuit

 DC Motor: This motor is controlled with DC voltages and can move


in forward and backward direction according to the polarity of the
voltage applied.

 Motor driver IC (L293D): Microcontrollers can’t supply the


current required by DC motor to run. So, to fulfill this requirement
these motor driver ICs are used.
DC motors with Driver IC

 Power adopter: This is used to give appropriate dc power supply to


microcontroller, driver IC sensors and the other passive components
of the robot.

 Wheels: In it three wheels are employed, two at rear end and one at
front end. Rear wheels are attached with the motors and also control
the steering of robot. Front wheel is the loose steered wheel which
moves in the direction of the pressure applied to it.

Description
To make the robot follow the black line, IR sensors are employed with the
fact that black surface absorbs light and white surface reflects light.
The sensors are mounted on left front end and right front end of the robot
keeping the black line lies in between them. Until sensors are getting the
reflected light, the comparator sends logic 1 to the microcontroller and the
microcontroller in turn switches ON the motor associated with the sensor
and when any of the sensors comes up on the black line the
microcontroller stops the motor associated with that sensors and make the
robot to turn in the direction of the black line.
When the robot reaches end point and both the sensors are getting black
surface, robot stops.
Program:
/*left sensor attached to pin 0, right sensor attached to pin 2,

left motor attached to pin 5(+ve),6 and right motor attached to pin 7(+ve),8 and*/

int left_sensor=0;

int right_sensor=2;

void setup() {

pinMode(left_sensor, INPUT);

pinMode(right_sensor, INPUT);

pinMode(5, OUTPUT);

pinMode(6, OUTPUT);

pinMode(7, OUTPUT);

pinMode(8, OUTPUT);

void loop()

char value,v0,v2;

v0=digitalRead(0);

v2=digitalRead(2);

value=((v2<<2)|v0);

switch(value)

case 5

digitalWrite(6, LOW);

digitalWrite(8, LOW);

digitalWrite(5, HIGH);

digitalWrite(7, HIGH); //switch on both


break;

case 1: //RIGHT SENSOR'S OUTPUT

digitalWrite(5, HIGH);

digitalWrite(7, LOW);

digitalWrite(6, LOW);

digitalWrite(8, LOW);//switch on only LEFT motor move to RIGHT

break;

case 4: //LEFT SENSOR'S OUTPUT

digitalWrite(5, LOW);

digitalWrite(7, HIGH);

digitalWrite(6, LOW);

digitalWrite(8, LOW);//switch on only RIGHT motor move to LEFT

break;

case 0:

digitalWrite(5, LOW);

digitalWrite(7, LOW);

digitalWrite(6, LOW);

digitalWrite(8, LOW); //both stop

break;

Programming Digital I/O pins of Arduino UNO board:
 Each pin is controlled by three commands associated with it which are
designated as:
pinMode()

digitalWrite()

digitalRead()

 pinMode()
This configures the specified pin to behave either as an input or an output.
Syntax
pinMode(pin, mode)
Parameters
pin: the number of the pin whose mode you wish to set
mode: INPUT, OUTPUT.
Returns
None
Example
int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13

void setup()
{
pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output
}

void loop()
{
digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on
delay(1000); // waits for a second
digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off
delay(1000); // waits for a second
}

 digitalWrite()
Write a HIGH or a LOW value to a digital pin.
If the pin has been configured as an OUTPUT with pinMode(), its voltage will
be set to the corresponding value: 5V (or 3.3V on 3.3V boards) for HIGH, 0V
(ground) for LOW.
Syntax
digitalWrite(pin, value)
Parameters
pin: the pin number
value: HIGH or LOW
Returns
None
Example
Sets pin 13 to HIGH, makes a one-second-long delay, and sets the pin back to LOW.

int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13

void setup()

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin as output

void loop()

digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // sets the LED on

delay(1000); // waits for a second


digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // sets the LED off

delay(1000); // waits for a second

 digitalRead()
Reads the value from a specified digital pin, either HIGH or LOW.
Syntax
digitalRead(pin)
Parameters
pin: the number of the digital pin you want to read (int)
Returns
HIGH or LOW
Example
int ledPin = 13; // LED connected to digital pin 13

int inPin = 7; // pushbutton connected to digital pin 7

int val = 0; // variable to store the read value

void setup()

pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // sets the digital pin 13 as output

pinMode(inPin, INPUT); // sets the digital pin 7 as input

void loop()

val = digitalRead(inPin); // read the input pin

digitalWrite(ledPin, val); // sets the LED to the button's value
