Arduino IDE

About this project

Let's make a fully autonomous robot using Arduino and IR sensors. It can follow a black line on white surface. Watch video for more!

Components used:

• Piece of cardboard/ Acrylic sheet
• Arduino Uno
• IR sensor
• BO motor
• Wheels
• Caster wheel
• L293d IC
• PCB
• Flexible wire
• Battery

Fix all components on acrylic sheet and make a chassis as shown in pictures.

Now make all connection As per the circuit Diagram bellow.

you can make this circuit on dotted pcb like this.

or can use this type of professional looking PCB.

you can order PCB for this Shield from here https://www.pcbway.com/project/shareproject/How_to_Make_Arduino_Based_Edge_Avoiding_Robot.html

or for ready made shield contact us on: https://www.facebook.com/STROniXTechnologies

Now it's time to program this robot. upload this program to arduino and all done.
