Colour Controlled Car using Colour Sensor and Arduino

This program controls a car's movement based on colors detected by a color sensor, allowing it to move forward, in circles, or in triangular patterns depending on whether it senses red, green, or blue. The car stops when no color is detected. The code includes functions for reading colors, checking the sensed color, and controlling the motors for movement.

The colour sensor is mounted on the
car.
