The operation of this Robot is quite simple. Infra-red sensors placed at the front of the chassis will monitor when our Robot is over a black line or when it is over a white background. In this project we will use the appropriate rounded chassis to the Robot. In case the robot being on the […]

Here is part 1 of the Arduino and L293D Robot.This is part of a series of instructables leading to a Line follower Robot. This is a basic Robot made by controlling two motors via the L293D chip through an Arduino Board. I have done this project in the past with similar set up just not with an Arduino Board. Do

Fijibot is an autonomous, self-charging photovore. I built him using a 1.5 liter Fiji Water bottle, an Arduino Uno, 6v solar panel (plus various other parts) from Radio Shack, an Arduino Proto Shield (plus various other parts) from Adafruit, and the wheels and steering arrangement from an RC car. I decided to use a Fiji
