Line Follower Robot

Line follower robot is a robot that can move a guide line to follow the path. Waveguide lines are in use in this case is a white line placed on surface of dark berwaran, atupun contrary, the black line which is placed on a white surface. The working principle of detection of the robot scout line is that each color of the surface has the ability to reflect light differently. The white color has the ability to reflect more light. In contrast, dark colors have less ability to reflect light. It is used to detect the line of the waveguide.

There are several systems that are important in making a line follower robot is a robot Mechanical, Electronic and robot programming language. Associated with mechanical robots is how to choose the material physical robot builders. As for the electronic robot is a robot that includes a series of robot main controller (main controller), a series of sensors, and driver circuit. And the system is important in making line follower robot that is language programmer (software). Is the part that is used to program (fill) IC microkontroler. Programmable software which is often used is the Assembly Language, C / C, Bascom (compailler language).

There are two kinds of line follower robot line follower without using the program and the regular line follower with microkontroler program. Basically it works the same way that distinguishes between black and white surfaces. it's just that using the program microkontroler more complex and more perfect if the appeal is without a line follower using the program. In terms of cost is very clear that the line follower using the program microkontroller more expensive in the making.

The components that need to be in siapka to build a line follower is
Robot Body

To build a robot body we can use acrylic, that looks like glass. For the simplest pembutan we can use a CD, a few modifications will result in a pretty good body.
Akuator robot.

Akuator robots here we use a DC motor maknet permanent. Dc motor can be obtained from children's toys, or from a dc motor from a toy Tamia. To penyetabilan motion required a gearbox.
Wheel

We need 3 rear wheels is 2 wheels and one front wheel. For the rear wheel we associate with dc motors. For the front wheel to move freely at the time of inflection, using only one wheel. Wheels are in use Castrol / idle wheel. Untuh simplest materials we can use BB Rexona packaging.
Censorship

The sensor is like a robot eye. Only by the robot sensors can determine the direction of motion. There are various sensors used in making a line follower. To membgaun simple line follower we use infrared sensors because pembuatanya very simple.

Electronics Line Follower

Electronics for a robot is as organs of support work for other systems. Additional electronic components: resistors, capacitor, condenser, Diodes (LEDs), transistors, switches.
