Line-follow kit for Boe-Bot mobile robot

This kit uses QTI infrared emitter/receiver modules to enhance the line-following capability of your Boe-Bot robot. Mount three or four sensors underneath the Boe-Bot chasis, and adjust the position to detect lines of different widths. Learning to use the QTI is easy with the illustrated instructions and example BASIC Stamp code provided.

Designed for close proximity infrared detection
Use as a digital sensor array to detect black lines in order to follow electrical tape courses or navigate mazes
Use as an analogue sensor to detect shades of grey

Note

The Boe-Bot robot is NOT supplied as part of the kit but is available seperately: 781-0924

A BASIC Stamp is a single-board computer that runs the Parallax PBASIC language interpreter in its microcontroller. The developer's code is stored in an EEPROM, which can also be used for data storage. The PBASIC language has easy-to-use commands for basic I/O, like turning devices on or off, interfacing with sensors, etc. More advanced commands let the BASIC Stamp module interface with other integrated circuits, communicate with each other, and operate in networks. The BASIC Stamp microcontroller has prospered in hobby, lower-volume engineering projects and education due to ease of use and a wide support base of free application resources.
