# Print values of the obstacle avoidance module
print(ir_avoid.value())
time.sleep(0.1)
While the program is running, if the IR obstacle avoidance module detects an obstacle in front of it, the value “0” will
be shown on the Serial Monitor, otherwise, the value “1” will be shown.
3.22 5.4 Detect the Line
The line-tracking module is used to detect the presence of black areas on the ground, such as black lines taped with
electrical tape.
Its emitter emits appropriate infrared light into the ground, which is relatively absorbed and weakly reflected by black
surfaces. The opposite is true for white surfaces. If reflected light is detected, the ground is currently indicated as
white. If it is not detected, it is indicated as black.
