# Line Folower Robot

## Materials
- Standard 4WD Chasis
- Microcontroller that supports Arduino Code
- L298N Motor Driver
- IR Sensor Array (5 Sensors)
- Portable Power Source

## Step 1: Assemble the Chasis and fix the Sensor to the bottom of the Car's front
Attach L298N Motor Driver Module and Arduino on the top of the car.
### Wiring circuits

| From | Pin | <== Pin Name | To | Pin |
| -------- | ---- | -------------- | ------- | --- |
| L298N | IN1 | Left Forward | Arduino | 2 |
| L298N | ENA | Left Speed | Arduino | 3 |
| L298N | IN2 | Left Backward | Arduino | 4 |
| L298N | IN3 | Right Forward | Arduino | 5 |
| L298N | ENB | Right Speed | Arduino | 6 |
| L298N | IN4 | Right Backward | Arduino | 7 |
| | | | | |
| IR Array | OUT1 | Very Left | Arduino | 8 |
| IR Array | OUT2 | Slight Left | Arduino | 9 |
| IR Array | OUT3 | Middle | Arduino | 10 |
| IR Array | OUT4 | Slight Right | Arduino | 11 |
| IR Array | OUT5 | Very Right | Arduino | 12 |

#### Note: Wiring depends on your orientation
This is why I have included "Pin Name" to describe which Pin I am actually referring to. You can use your own pinouts too.

### Wiring motors

| From | Pin | To | Pin |
| ------------ | --- | ----- | ---- |
| Left Motors | Vcc | L298N | OUT1 |
| Left Motors | GND | L298N | OUT2 |
| Right Motors | Vcc | L298N | OUT3 |
| Right Motors | GND | L298N | OUT4 |

## Step 2: Power
- Power is upto you, you can use any thing that has between 7 - 12 Volts
- You simply need to connect it in the following way

| From | Pin | To | Pin |
| ------- | --- | -------- | --- |
| Supply | Vcc | L298N | 12V |
| Supply | GND | L298N | GND |
| L298N | 5V | Arduino | Vin |
| L298N | GND | Arduino | GND |
| Arduino | 5V | IR Array | 5V |
| Arduino | GND | IR Array | GND |

## Step 3: Upload the code
## Step 4: Try it on different tracks!
