Ops Manager Learn 3: First Steps / Line Follower

Let’s take a closer look at what the line follower is and how it works.

What is a line follower?

The Line follower has a set of 6 line sensors on its underside, spread out equally across its length. Each of these sensors is capable of detecting whether or not it is immediately above a black line. Based on what these 6 sensors collectively tell us we can work out where the line is relative to the center of the line follower.

If time permits, take a look at the Line Follower Explained extension where this sensor is studied in more details.
