Turn Your Raspberry Pi Pico into a Robot That Obeys Lines Like a Pro

  • The article demonstrates how to turn a Raspberry Pi Pico into a line-following robot using various components.
  • A line follower robot is described as an autonomous robot that can track and follow a line on the floor, typically a black line.
  • Components required include Raspberry Pi Pico, IR sensor array, L298N motor driver, motors, wheels, caster wheel, LiPo battery, wires, and a computer.
  • The software part involves installing Thonny IDE, flashing the Pico with Micropython Firmware, and setting up Thonny for programming.
  • The article provides MicroPython code for motor control, sensor reading, PID control, smart search function, and the main loop for the line follower robot.
  • Hardware part includes connections between Raspberry Pi Pico, L298N, and the IR sensor array for the line follower.
  • IR sensor calibration steps are provided to ensure the accurate functioning of the line follower robot.
  • A test run video link is shared for reference, showcasing the working model of the line-following robot.
  • The project concludes with thanks and the author's name, Shivank Dan.
