DESCRIPTION: The Line Follower module uses a multi-sensor
array over which you have complete programmatic control. This level of
control allows you to develop line following algorithms that range from
simple to advanced. Since the module uses reflective sensors, it contains
a threshold adjustment that can tune the sensor array to the ambient light
conditions. The module connects to the BOE-Bot AppMod socket with a simple
ribbon cable and male-male header. Where is line following technology be
implemented in the real world? Factories route mail & package delivery.
Snowplow vehicles can sense the road (using magnetic lines), obstacles,
and other vehicles on "smart" highways. The Line Follower Module
consists of: Printed Documentation, Pre-assembled Line Follower module,
Ribbon cable assembly, 2x10 dual-row header, (2) 1" female-female hex
standoff (4) 4/40 x 3/8" screw, (2) nylon washer, Parallax
Screwdriver.
