Line-Following-Sensor

Created a Line following robot that uses three optocoupler sensors to follow a black line.

Coded in Atmel Studio in C.

The robot is programmed to run along a black line on the floor autonomously. The robot’s motor is controlled by the Dual Full-Bridge Driver (U2) which receives signals from the MCU. The MCU will output two types of signals to the driver, PWM signal and rotational direction signal. The PWM duty cycle controls the speed of the robot and the rotational direction controls the robot going forward or backward. The robot can also make a turn when one motor spins faster than another. The robot has two types of inputs, three optocoupler sensors for following the line and two front bumper switches for avoiding an obstacle.
