boe-bot follows a white line

winrhinoplasty

I am programming a boe-bot using basic stamp and I don't know how to make it follow a white line. Does anyone have a code written up that they could offer me? I need it by next week. Thanks.

Line following in a week?· That sounds like some homework you can probably do without too much trouble...·

There are some examples for following black lines that you should study, and then, I think you'll find it pretty easy to write your own white line following code.

Here are examples of following a black line with the QTI sensors:

Also, there's an example of following a bold, black stripe in the Robotics with the Boe-Bot text. The code probably isn't very difficult to tweak for following a bold white stripe instead. See Chapter 8, Activity #3:

Of course, Robotics with the Boe-Bot is also a good primer.· Going through the activities in the text will really help you build your circuit and programming skills for the task at hand.
