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. Software Setup Reading Analog Values of IR Sensor In our previous projects, we read digital values from IR Sensor - 0 for...

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

How To Make Arduino Line Following Robot | Line Follower Using Two IR Sensor

Image
Do robots that follow a specific path excite you? Guess what? We'll help you make one!  Line Follower Cars are autonomous cars that follow a given route. Today we'll make a Line following car using Arduino and IR sensor, that has its application ranging from use in industry to auto mobile application. So let's start! IR Sensor Working Mechanism IR sensor is an infrared rays transmitter and receiver. It  discriminates between black and white surfaces, returning a digital signal of Zero '0' to Arduino for white surfaces and One '1' for black surfaces.

Obstacle Avoiding Car | Path Finder Robot

Image
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 . Make Your Obstacle Avoiding Car! Required Components The components required to make this project are: 1.       Arduino UNO 2.       Motor Driver L298N 3.       Car Chassis 4.       Ultrasonic Sensor 5.       12V Battery Pack 6. ...

JoyStick Controlled Car

Image
  Remote controlled and autonomous cars fascinate everyone. And being able to understand their working, and most importantly, being able to make them is a wonderful skill and experience. Therefore, in this project, we will learn to make a joystick-controlled car using Arduino.  Joy Stick Working Mechanism   The Joy stick we'll be using is similar to one in your gaming controllers. We can move it horizontally and vertically. Additionally, it has a push button. The horizontal and vertical displacements of joysticks are tracked using VRx and VRy pins respectively. And the state of push-button, 1 or 0 is tracked via SW pin. The image below explains in more detail how the output of the joystick changes with a change in the joystick's movement.  Hardware Assembly of Car Coming to hardware of car, it can be divided into two parts, assembly of chassis and components and circuit patching. You may refer to video at the end of article to get visual representation of assembly an...

Controlling DC Motor using L298N and Arduino UNO

Image
  Remote controlled and autonomous cars fascinate everyone. And being able to understand their working, and most importantly, being able to make them is a wonderful skill and experience. But, before we jump onto that, it's important to learn about two key components of such cars, MOTORS, and MOTOR DRIVERS. Explaining in the simplest possible way, MOTORS are output devices used to rotate wheels, by using electrical power. And MOTOR DRIVERS are modules used to control the direction of rotation of motors, clockwise or anti-clockwise, and speed of rotation of wheels.  We will now make a simple project, in which we will control our motor's direction using a motor driver, L298N.  Hardware Components Required 1- L298N Motor Driver 2- Arduino 3- Motor 4- Wheel 5- Jumper Cables 6- Battery (9V) Checking Motor and Motor Driver Before starting any project, make sure your hardware is working correctly. The following method may be used to check for motor and motor driver's basic workin...
