shopping list

  • Toggle Switch - to swap the buggys programmes running, from following a track, to recognising symbols.
  • LDR - 4 LDRs gives more to programme, but also a greater sensitivity when calibrated as they can be compared to enable to buggy to make a greater number of decisions based upon the data they provide.
  • Super-bright LEDs - to light the underside of the buggy and provide the LDRs with a steady light source to compare the track against. 
These components were purchased at Maplin:
