3.4 Detect the Line¶
The line tracking module is used to detect whether there are black areas on the ground, such as black lines pasted with electrical tape.
One of its LEDs emits appropriate infrared light to the ground, and the black surface has a relatively strong ability to absorb light and a weaker reflection ability. White surfaces are the opposite. If it detects reflected light, it means the ground is currently white. If not detected, it means black.
That’s how it works.

Note
You can open the file
3.4.detect_the_line.inounder the path of3in1-kit\basic_project\3.4.detect_the_line.Or copy this code into Arduino IDE.
Or upload the code through the Arduino Web Editor.
When the line tracking module detects there is black line, there appears [1] on the Serial Monitor; otherwise, [0] is displayed.
