  Here is the Circuit Diagram:
  
  I had used PROTEL software for the drawing of Circuit Diagram or Schematic Diagram. Guys you can also try to design this circuit or you can take it as a reference. please come up with your Diagrams.

  Heya, keep it up!
  
  How does the S08AC16 compare to a PIC18F series microcontroller?
• 

  Harshad Italiya

  Well this controller is from Freescale. and its IDE is CODEWARRIOR... so Basically this IDE is the Best i had ever use as compare to KEIL,MPLAB,IAR or AVR Studio.
  
  Initialization of the peripheral in this is very easy thats why we are going with this one.
  
  We can also use PIC18F. But i found This one very user friendly.

  heya,
  
  guys is there any other simpler circuits for building a line following robot

  This one is the simplest circuit i found.

  Today's Update:
  
  I had completed the Designing of the PCB Layout and i will share it tomorrow.

  Hello Guys,
  
  I am working on the Seven Segment display Code.
  so let me tell you the basic circuitry for the same here to save the pin of controller i had used shift register #-Link-Snipped-#. Because of this now there is no need to connect 8 Pins of Controller to the Seven segment Display.
  
  Now you have to connect only two pins CLOCK and DATA to the Shift Register and the output from the 74HC164 is given to the display.
  
  So untill i post its Code here if anyone is interested to work on this code try to make code and post it here.. no matter if you are using Shift Register or not.. if you are not using then make code without it... use 8 Pins of controller.
  
  if anyone has confused in making code then we will discuss it here. but you must have to try something.

  Hello Friends,
  Any one had tried anything?
  
  OK let me post the Code for the Seven Segment Display.
  
  #define MCLK PTED_PTED2 // Pin 2 of Port E as Clock
  #define MDATA PTED_PTED3 // Pin 3 of Port E as Data
  
  void MCU_init(void);
  const unsigned char d[10] = {63,6,91,79,102,109,125,39,127,111};
  
  
  unsigned char i;
  
  void Delay()
  {
  unsigned int i = 0xfff;
  while(--i);
  }
  
  void shift_out()
  {
  unsigned char n = 9;
  
  while(--n)
  {
  MDATA = 0;
  if((byte1&0x80) == 0x80)
  {
  MDATA = 1;
  }
  MCLK = 1;
  MCLK = 0;
  byte1 = byte1 << 1;
  }
  }
  void Display()
  {
  byte1 = ~d[j];
  shift_out();
  Delay();
  }
  
  void main(void)
  {
  
  unsigned int j=0;
  MCU_init();
  
  for( ; ; )
  {
  for(j=0;j<10;j++)
  {
  Display();
  Delay();
  Delay();
  Delay();
  Delay();
  Delay();
  Delay();
  Delay();
  }
  
  }
  
  }

  Any Question?

  can you please tell me what it will do.Sorry i can't try it because i don't have an programming kit to transfer the code 😔

  Well see the programmer for the ATMEL and PHILLIPS is easily available you can try them...i had buy NXP(Phillips) programmer from Local market. let me know if you want any guidance from my side... but before that... be clear that on which controller you want to work... find it out in your local market and then start doing project.

  Hello Ceans,
  
  there is one change that i am doing... i am using DC motor not stepper motor so now i required only one L298 Driver as it is Dual Bridge Driver.
  
  Next thing is to run DC motor... so for that there is very simple thing you have to apply 0 and 1 to two different connection of DC motor and if you altered it... it will run in the reverse direction use this basic things to run DC motor..
  
  Feel free to post question.

  I'm using ATMEL micro controller, and learned KEIL to make hex file and can you please tell me that is there any difference b\w atmel and phillips micro controllers(i don't think so).

  atmel MicroC are more efficient and faster in my experience!

  Not Much Difference you can go ahead with ATMEL.

  i had done some modification and instead of L298 i am using Transistor to drive DC motor... and the Robot is almost complete.. i will post its video soon.

  This is simple line follower robot that will follow Black line and this one is based on the Freescale controller its very handy

  is it yours godfather¿

  Good one!!
  
  But I think it was slow, considering you used a DC motor... What is the RPM of the motor you are using?
  
  And, did you face any problems with L298? Why did you go for a transistor drive? Nothing wrong in that, but using an IC will be easy..
  
  You can try L293D if you face problems with L298. So, if it was just a bit faster, it would've been better..

  i am using Freescale microcontroller and dont know but i have only one Driver 298 so instead of waiting for new one i had used Transistor based circuit.... i had kept speed slow in next modification i will make is faster.

  I think you can drive two DC motors with one L298 Ic. There are four input and four output pins, which means we can control 2 DC motors, because, each dc can be controlled by 2 output lines.
  
  Anyhow, it's ok, and do make it faster in the next improvement..
  
  Also, could you give the sensor placement? How many sensors have you used?

  i had used three Sensors Two for White line and one for black line... now working on new bot i want to make it Compact.
