Line-Following Robot Car

In Fall 2013, the final project for EE302 Introduction to Electrical was a line following robot car. I worked in a team of three to complete this project. The car was able to follow a line that curved, but was unable to catch right turns consistently.

Demonstration

Software

Code was written in LabView and run on two myDAQs.

Hardware

The physical robot car was built from a small kit. It included two motors, treads, and a physical frame. LEDs were placed on the bottom of the frame to illuminate the line. Line sensors facing the ground returned the difference between white and black, and coded logic told the car to either turn the motors left or right.
