In Creative Projects I make recommendations on line followers. One of them is
to add a touch sensor that you can use as a trigger to grab the light levels of
the line and the surface and store them in memory. Then you can use the
average of those two numbers as the point at which you can trigger the actions
of the motors, instead of a global variable like "41". That way your
line-follower can work in any room without any re-downloading of a program.
especially good for competitions, etc. where the lighting in the room is
different from yours.

Two light sensors are attached to the front pivot wheel. The distance between the sensors (...) (23 years ago, 2-Apr-01, to lugnet.robotics)
