Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform - Line Follower Board

Add precise line following to your autonomous robotic buggy projects with the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform Line Follower Board. No soldering is required as the board features a 0.1” (2.54mm) pitch pin header compatible with standard prototype breadboards and strip-boards.

The board features 3 phototransistor sensors (Left, Centre, Right) that detect reflected light intensity to produce an analogue output voltage readable by microprocessor ADC channels such as Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino, or BBC micro:bit.

• Add precise line following to your robot/buggy projects.
• No soldering required, easy to connect.
• Standard 0.1” (2.54mm) pitch pin header for breadboard compatibility.
• Example MicroPython line following code for Raspberry Pi Pico available on GitHub.
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi Pico, Arduino, and BBC micro:bit.
• Featured in the Kitronik Autonomous Robotics Platform for Raspberry Pi Pico.
