Chapter 6. Light-Sensitive Navigation with Phototransistors

BOE Shield-Bot for Arduino with phototransistor sensors for navigating by light

BOE Shield-Bot for Arduino with phototransistor sensors for navigating by lightChapter 6 of Robotics with the Board of Education Shied for Arduino uses light sensors that respond to visible light, and also to an invisible type of light called infrared.  These sensors can be used in different circuits that the Arduino can monitor to detect variations in light level.  With this information, your sketch can make the BOE Shield-Bot follow a flashlight beam or find its way out of a dark room.
