2. Soldering the headers Before using your click board , make sure to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers are included with the board in the package. 1 4. Essential features Line Follower click 2 3 As the name implies, Line Follower click is best used for line following robots and cars. Each one of the QRE1113 sensors consist of an infrared transmitter and infrared receiver. By default the sensor output a Logic Level 1, until they encounter a white surface which changes the output signal to 0. This is because white surfaces are more reflective. Since theres Turn the board upside down so that Turn the board upward again. Make sure 5 adjacent sensors, you can deduce the the bottom side is facing you upwards. to align the headers so that they are position or thickness of the white line from the Place shorter pins of the header into the perpendicular to the board, then solder the combination of their outputs. appropriate soldering pads. pins carefully. 1. Introduction Line Follower click carries an array of five QRE1113 miniature reflective object sensors. 3. Plugging the board in For communicating with the target MCU, the click individual sensors have their own separate Once you have soldered the headers your digital outputs, each one routed through board is ready to be placed into the desired BOARDS a single mikroBUS pin: OUT1, OUT2, mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the cut www.mikroe.com OUT3, OUT4 and OUT5 (in place of default in the lower-right part of the board with the mikroBUS pins RST, AN, PWM, TX and RX, markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS respectively). Line Follower click is designed socket. If all the pins are aligned Line Follower click Manual v101 to use either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply. correctly, push the board all the way into the socket. 01000000904598. Code examples 5. Schematic Once you have done all the necessary preparations, its time to get your click board up and running. We have provided examples for mikroC , mikroBasic and mikroPascal compilers on our Libstock website. Just download them and you are ready to start.
