Overview
The Digilent Line-Following Servo Robot Kit (SRK+Line) provides the perfect starting point for those
new to robotics, but has the power to be used for advanced designs and applications as well. The
SRK+Line pairs our powerful Cerebot™ MX3cK microcontroller development board with a rugged
steel platform and all the motors, wheels, sensors, and other parts needed to build a complete robot.
This document demonstrates a simple design that will get your SRK+Line up and running, using its
four IROS sensors to follow a dark line on a lightly colored surface. Using your SRK+Line’s powerful
Cerebot MX3cK microcontroller, you’ll be able to add all sorts of functionality to your robot. Add some
of our extensive line of peripheral modules (Pmods™) and you can design almost anything!
Your Cerebot MX3cK can be programmed with either Microchip MPLAB® IDE or chipKIT™ MPIDE.
Microchip MPLAB IDE can be downloaded for free from microchip.com. chipKIT MPIDE can be
downloaded for free from github.com/chipKIT32/chipKIT32-MAX/downloads.
The demo project used in this design can be downloaded from the Line Following Servo Robot Kit
product page at digilentinc.com. For more information on programming the Cerebot MX3cK with
MPLAB or MPIDE, see the
Cerebot MX3cK Reference Manual
, available from the Cerebot MX3cK
product page at digilentinc.com.
