LINE TRACKING VEHICLE

  Week 4 of  the year 2 project Week four was dedicated to final touches on our project. We needed to adjust the code because the car was not accurately detecting the black line and was continuously moving in a circular motion. Other than this issue, there wasn't anything else to address except for testing it on the cardboard surface we had created for the vehicle. We conducted multiple tests to ensure that the vehicle met our project goals, and it successfully passed them all. Next week, we will have our bench inspected, and the vehicle will undergo one final test.

Week 3 of the year 2 project Project: Line tracking vehicle using Raspberry Pi Pico    The third week was almost all about testing. We uploaded the control code to the microcontroller, and we took our time testing it further to ensure it’s working as expected for the operation of the motor control and the sensors' response (we also had the sensors assembled to the chassis on the same lab day). All hardware components were connected according to the circuit design, and we believed the project was ready for testing and evaluation. We faced some problems regarding the code during the code testing phase, and decided that minor debugging must be done, as the vehicle wasn’t moving as intended, and also, we saw that some sensor readings need to be calibrated just to ensure accuracy. So we decided to work on it next week, and didn’t conduct the final project test. circuit diagram

  Week 2 of the year 2 project Project: Line tracking vehicle Date:13/Feb/2026  In the second week, we completed the basic connections of the circuit and the mechanical assembly of the car chassis and all the sensors have been tested for functionality to confirm they work properly. We had some concerns during the further system integration process that some minor adjustments may be necessary. When the software and hardware are fully integrated, more comprehensive testing is going to be required. Tasks for the coming week: 1. Start developing and testing the  control program of the vehicle 2. Combine the sensors with the control program and verify the system’s response 3. Carry out the testing and debugging of the entire system  

WEEK 1 OF YEAR 2 PROJECT   DATE: 3 l FEB l 2026 TITLE: AUTONOMOUS LINE TRACKING VEHICLE USING RASPBERRY Pi GROUP MEMBERS: 1. HELU HU 2. HOOR HUSSAIN 3. ZHITONG GU (leader) 4. AYA MASHHADI WHAT IS A LINE TRACKING VEHICLE?  A Line Tracking Vehicle is an autonomous robot that follows a visible line on the ground. The line could be in any colour, but in our case, it’s black. It uses sensors to detect the line and adjusts its movement automatically without human control. Components of the project:  In the first week, we discussed the project's overall idea and what we are aiming for: building a fully functioning vehicle, and chose Zhitong GU to be the leader of this group project. Before the components had arrived, the operation procedures were discussed in advance, with a focus on certain areas of the project, such as system assembly and testing. We have faced some issues regarding a delay in delivering the hardware components, so we weren’t able carry on with the projec...
