What is the Tinybit Line Follower?

The Tinybit Line Follower is a feature of the Tiny:bit educational robot (which uses a micro:bit) that allows the robot to follow a line on the ground automatically using line-tracking sensors.

It works by:

• Detecting a black line on the floor

• Following the path autonomously

• Adjusting speed and direction based on sensor input

The Tiny:bit robot uses two infrared sensors located underneath the robot to read contrast differences:

• Black = absorbed light → recognized as a line

• White/light colors = reflected light → recognized as non-line

Using this information, the robot can decide to:

• Turn left

• Turn right

• Go straight

• Stop

This feature teaches the basics of robotics such as sensor control, decision-making, and simple navigation algorithms.
