Line Follower is a very simple robot ideal for beginner
electronics. The robot travels along the line using the iR sensor. The
sensor has two diodes, one diode sends infrared light, the other
diode receives the reflected light from the surface. When the infrared
rays fall on the white surface, they are reflected back. When infrared
light fall a black surface, the light is absorbed by the black surface and
no rays are reflected back, so the photodiode does not receive any
light. The sensor measures the amount of reflected light and sends
the value to the arduino. There is a potentiometer on the sensor, with
which we can adjust the sensitivity of the sensor. 

Arduino now has to make decisions based on the data received from
the sensor, until the sensor detects no black line it will go forward. If
the left sensor detects a black line, the robot turns right, and if the
right sensor detects a black line, it turns left. The robot will stop when
both sensors detect a black line at the same time.

Version with L298N Shield:

To assemble your robot you need: 

Schema

Now before turning on the power, check that you have connected
everything correctly. Copy the program code and upload it to your
arduino, then turn on the serial monitor (in Arduino IDE -> Tools ->
Serial Monitor). Place your robot on the black line and set the
potentiometer so that the sensor value shows ≈ 1023, and on the
white surface ≈ 33.
