Obstacle Avoiding Car | Path Finder Robot



We are glad you found your way around and came here, just like our robot. Today, we bring you a robot that uses an Ultrasonic Sensor to detect obstacles in its way and finds its way around. So read this article of the Arduino Car Series, till the end, and learn to make one on your own.

What is Ultrasonic Sensor?

The ultrasonic sensor is an electronic device that measures distance by using ultrasonic waves. It is an application of SONAR (Sound Navigation and Ranging). Ultrasonic Sensors measure the distance to the target by measuring the time between the emission and reception. To learn more about it, click here.

How To Make Line Follower Using Three IR Sensor | Arduino Line Following Car

Image
Line Follower Cars are autonomous cars that follow a given route. We have already learned to make a Line Following Car using 2 IR sensors to follow easy tracks . Today we'll make a Line following car using Arduino and 3 IR sensors , that will precisely follow a black line over a white surface , take sharp 90 degree turns and easily follow high curvature curves . Before moving ahead, make sure you understand the Working Mechanism of IR Sensor and learn how to make 2 IR Sensor Line Follower Robot . This project is an upgrade of 2 IR Sensor Line Follower Robot.  Hardware Setup Components Required: Arduino UNO Motor Driver L298N Car Chassis (Car Frame | 2 x DC gear Motor | 2 x Tires) Jumper Cables 3 x IR Sensor  Car Assembly: The first step is to assemble the car chassis. To learn more about assembly, refer to this article:  Assemble Car Chassis . For visual demonstration refer to this video:  Assemble Car Chassis . Circuit Diagram: Software Setup Arduino needs to be programmed suc

How To Make Line Follower Car with Speed Control | 6 IR Sensor Arduino Line Following Car

Image
It's easy to make a robot that follows a line or smooth curves, but it becomes challenging to design the line follower robot when its track is complex. But we got you covered. Using 6 sensors and speed control of our car, we'll design our fast and advanced line following robot.  Before starting on this advanced project make sure you understand How Does An IR Sensor Works  and have tried making 2 Sensor Line Follower or 3 Sensor Line Follower . Hardware Setup Components Required Arduino UNO Motor Driver L298N 6 x IR Sensors (1 x TCRT5000 & 1 x HX-01) Car Chassis (Base & Motors & Wheel & Caster Wheel) 12V Battery Pack Jumper Cables Car Chassis Assembly Circuit Diagram Note: For speed control remove the tiny black jumper covering ENA and ENB pins on L298N. Make sure they are covered when not using the speed control, else project may not work.
