6. GETTING STARTED

LSS05 need to be calibrated to retrieve the dark and bright value of the surface that it

will do the line follow. Every of the IR sensor pairs need to be exposed to the dark and bright

surface for it to read the value and save it. LSS05 will save the value in EEPROM, it will

retrieve back the data from the EEPROM every time its switch on. Hence, only one time

calibration is needed for the same surface and line. To calibrate LSS05, simply press the

calibration push button once or pulling down the Cal. for few milliseconds. Calibration will

be start by exposing the sensor to the bright surface and then to the dark surface as indicated

by the LEDs. 3 LEDs blinking means the bright calibration (2.5 seconds) and 2 LED blinking

means the dark calibration (2.5 seconds). Calibration is normally done by crossing every

sensor across the line that it will follow as shown in the figure below. Sensors will save the

brightest value in the bright calibration process and darkest value in dark calibration. User

can calibrate by simply swinging the sensors across the dark and bright surface in order to

expose every sensor to the dark and bright surface.

Calibration of every sensor is

independent and value of each sensor will be saved.
