SunFounder PiCar-S

In the line following function, we set the turning angle of the servo in different levels according to the detection results
of the probes. If the line in front of the car is detected as a small curve, then the car will turn a small angle; if it is a big
one, the car will turn a large angle. Thus, here we set four angle-turning constants: a_step, b_step, c_step, and d_step.

When the car moves forward originally, the servo is in 90 degrees. To drive the car to turn left, the servo should be in
90+step degrees; to turn right, the servo should be in 90-step degrees.

There is a special case: if the car runs off the track, and all the probes cannot detect the black lines any more, then it
will continue the program below.
