Line-Following Car

Overview

I designed and built a small car using laser-cut components controlled with a PIC32 microcontroller using a camera for sensory feedback for line-following.

Implementation

Components

  • 5 ft2 Clear acrylic for laser-cutting
  • Assorted screws, nuts, washers, spacers
  • 10x10 in PCB with PIC32MX270F256D designed for compatibility with components detailed below
  • 2 rechargable LI batteries
  • 1 camera
  • 2 rotary motors
  • 1 LCD touchscreen

Chassis

Chassis housing for PCB, batteries, motors, and camera designed to be put together from laser-cut parts

Wheels
