project. Compile and download the program to the Arduino development board.
Install the Tracker Sensor to the smart robot. Connect the jumper of motor in A area
to the Arduino, and the jumpers CLK, ADDR, DOUT and CS of F area to D13, D12,
D11 and D10, respectively. (The servo in C area and the ultrasonic unit in D area will
use these pins as well, so please remove the corresponding jumpers, avoiding
interruption).
The tracking line program enable the smart robot run along the black line with the
background color of white. You can choose a black adhesive tape with 15cm width,
and paste it to a white KT board to create the smart robot tracking line scenario.
The dark background color will reduce the capability of the smart robot on the
tracking line. Turn on the power adapter, and hold the robot in the middle of the
black line and close to the ground, then swing the robot from side to side. The
smart robot goes into the calibration mode, identifying the max. and the min.
threshed of each sensor. Calibration can have a direct influence to the tracking line
capability of the smart robot. When the wheels of the robot begin to move, you can
release the robot and it will run along with the black line.
For more detailed information about the control theory and the algorithm, please
refer to the Tracker Sensor User Manual.
