Line Follower Tutorial based on ATMega16 + L298 Motor Driver

March 21st, 2010 by Robot Technology | 7 Comments | Filed in Electronics, Programming, Robotics Tutorial, Sensors

Here the another Line Follower robot tutorial… The diagram is quite simple and easy to build, easy to understand. The robot mechanical design not included, you may create the shape and the mechanical design of your line follower robot by your self. Just use motor gear box which have high torque… :)

Line follower robot diagram

This line follower robot use the following module:

  • Proximity sensor: 8 pcs of phototransistors
  • Microcontroller: ATMega16
  • Motor driver: L298 module
  • Programming language: C

Sound activation also knows as tone detector is one of sensing system that usually used for robot start up activation. When some frequency have received by microphone in this circuit, then the robot will start to move.

I’ve collected some schematic diagrams of sound activation as follow:
