Quick-Start Guide
Before using the Infrared Line Follower, it’s a good idea to test the sensor’s responsiveness in the area
intended for use. This section includes instructions for mounting and testing the Infrared Line Follower on
your Boe-Bot or Stingray robot, as well as for calibrating it in your lighting conditions. In order to use the
example code below, you will need a strip of black electrical tape on white paper.
Boe-Bot Assembly Instructions
To mount the Infrared Line Follower on your Boe-Bot robot, you will need the following materials:
(2) 7/8" 4-40 pan-head screws
(2) 1/4" 4-40 pan-head screws
(2) 1" round standoffs
(2) 1/2" round spacers
Step 1
Insert the 7/8" screws through the top of the Boe-
Bot chassis through the left and right slots at the
front.
Step 2
On the underside of the chassis, slip on the 1/2"
unthreaded spacer on each screw, followed by the
1" standoff. Don’t tighten the standoff completely
to allow for easier alignment of the Infrared Line
Follower’s mounting holes in the next step.
