Kitronik Line Follower Control Board for Autonomous Robots

Description

Add precise line following to your autonomous robotic buggy projects with the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform Line Follower Board. No soldering is required as the board features a 0.1” (2.54mm) pitch pin header compatible with standard prototype breadboards and strip-boards.

The board features 3 phototransistor sensors (Left, Centre, Right) that detect reflected light intensity to produce an analogue output voltage readable by microprocessor ADC channels such as Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino, or BBC micro:bit.

• Add precise line following to your robot/buggy projects.
• No soldering required, easy to connect.
• Standard 0.1” (2.54mm) pitch pin header for breadboard compatibility.
• Example MicroPython line following code for Raspberry Pi Pico available on GitHub.
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino, and BBC micro:bit.
• Featured in the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform for Raspberry Pi Pico.
