• Actuators / output devices: 2 geared motors
• Control method: autonomous
• Programming language: Picaxe basic
• Target environment: indoor on smooth surfaces

For my second project, i decided to upgrade a bit on my first robot. The only extra part is a line follower kit (AXE 121) which i had already acquired from Tech supplies UK. As you can see, i removed the SRF 05 from the board and replaced it with a neat line follower package from Picaxe.

ATTENTION TO ALL AMATEUR SOLDERERS

Do not solder in a hurry, i tried to solder the AXE 121 PCB in a hurry. I soldered a resistor array in a wrong way, and then subsequently fried my board.

UPDATE

i will get a new board and start this anew.

this is the line follower bot showing its PPCB
