Title: simple line following robot
Post by: Farrah2525 on February 16, 2009, 02:36:07 PM
hi, i am new at all this robot building stuff, and i i am planning on making a line following robot. a simple one

here's my list of materials:
MCU,
2 servos,
batteries + a batterie holder,
voltage regulator,
LED's, resistors,
soldering iron or a solderless bread board
wheels,
photoresistors,
wire,
programmer,
.1" pin headers

anybody have any sugestions or comments?
props to Canabots for help. awesome tutorial and robot builder. :)

how are you going to make this line you might be able to use photoresistors to find the line.

yeah, i am planning on using photoresistors to find it, and maybe later on modify them so they can make sharper and more precise turns to follow the black on white line.

i am also thinking instead of pin heads or the PICKit (1,2,3) i might just go out and buy the roboduino (prebuilt microcontroller) so that wya i don't have to go and buy the pin heads or the voltage regulator
