Hi there,
http://forum.piborg.org/node/2429
I saw this post talking about line following using zeroborg and I am wondering if DiddyBorg can do the same and what line following sensors should be used?

Thanks,
Thomas

Yes, it would be possible to do this with DiddyBorg :)

A number of sensors would work, for example: https://thepihut.com/products/ir-infrared-line-follower-sensor-tcrt5000
Brian's code expects three sensors, one to be centered on the line and the other two to the left and right sides of the line. They should be mounted as close to the front of the DiddyBorg as possible.

Alternatively we have some example code for MonsterBorg designed to follow a wider line using the camera. This already uses a ThunderBorg so it can be changed to work with DiddyBorg as well: https://github.com/piborg/monster-self-drive
It's a bit more complicated as it needs to know what the colour of the line is and requires some tuning of the camera settings to get it to work properly.
