TECHNICAL

SPECIFICATIONS

◘ The Mark 1 LFR is a compact, high performance line follower robot built around the ATmega328P microcontroller using the Arduino Nano platform operating at 16 MHz and 5V logic level.


◘ The robot is powered by a 2S LiPo battery (7.4V / 11.1V). A dual channel TB6612FNG motor driver enables efficient PWM based speed control of the high RPM DC N20 gear motors, providing smooth acceleration and sharp turning capability.


◘ It features an 8 Channel IR Sensor Array (ARC8) to detect contrast between black and white surface. It is equipped with 2 wheel drive system combined with high traction rubber wheels that provide stability.


◘ The frame is a lightweight 3D printed chassis (PLA+/PETG). With an approximate weight of 140–160 grams and compact dimensions, it is optimized for speed, agility and competition performance that make the Mark 1 both beginner friendly and competition ready.

& PERFORMANCE

◘ Precision Line Tracking


◘ Smooth Corner Handling


◘ Real-Time Feedback System

SOFTWARE AND PROCESSING

◘ The Mark 1 LFR follows a structured control flow defined in setup() and loop(). On startup, the system waits for the left button press to initiate calibrate(). During calibration, the robot rotates using motorControl(100, -100) while recording minimum and maximum sensor readings.


◘ After pressing the right button, the robot enters run mode. In loop(), the readLine() function continuously reads and normalizes sensor data, identifying active sensors and determining whether the line is detected (onLine).


◘ If the line is present, linefollow() calculates positional error using weighted sensor inputs. A PID correction (using kp and kd) generates PIDvalue, which adjusts speedA and speedB around the defined robotSpeed. Speeds are constrained before being applied through motorControl().


◘ If the line is lost, recovery logic applies directional correction based on the last known error. This ensures stable tracking, smooth steering, and responsive real time control.

COLOR, MATTE

AND FINISH

Available in four color options, The matte chassis paired with high-traction rubber wheels and cleanly integrated components, delivering a cohesive, durable, and competition-ready finish.

Unidirectional Speed Controller – PWM Motor Controller for Suction Impeller Robots

The TechGeeks USC (Unidirectional Speed Controller) is a single-channel MOSFET-based motor controller PCB engineered for PWM speed control of the 8520 coreless brushless motor used in the TechGeeks suction impeller system. With a 3–5V input voltage range, 0–Vin variable output, up to 5A continuous current capacity, PWM frequency support exceeding 30KHz, and 3.3V–5V compatible logic input, the USC interfaces directly with any Arduino, STM32, ESP32 or similar microcontroller's digital output pin. It accepts a standard PWM signal and drives the motor through a high-efficiency MOSFET switch, resulting in low heat generation, clean switching waveforms, and precise speed control at high PWM frequencies. Available as a bare unsoldered PCB for experienced builders or as a fully soldered board ready for direct connection. The USC enables programmable dynamic control of impeller speed and therefore downforce intensity during runtime. Typical integration involves configuring a hardware PWM timer on the microcontroller (e.g., Timer1 on ATmega328P at 31.25 kHz), writing the duty cycle to the OCR register, and connecting the logic output to the USC signal pin. This register-level approach eliminates the latency of Arduino's analogWrite() function and ensures deterministic, jitter-free PWM delivery to the motor. TechGeeks provides example code for both Arduino HAL and bare-metal C implementations on the GitHub repository. Recommended operating window: duty cycle 0–35/255 for 2S LiPo supply, 0–25/255 for 3S LiPo supply, at 31KHz to maintain motor temperature within safe limits. If you're searching for a compact, high-frequency PWM speed controller for a coreless motor, impeller fan, or unidirectional DC motor application in India, the TechGeeks USC is purpose-built for this use case. Ships across India with free delivery on orders above ₹1999. Compatible with the TechGeeks suction impeller setup, Advanced Suction Chassis, and Mark 2 LFR kit. Also suitable as a standalone motor controller for any custom robotics, automation, or embedded systems project requiring unidirectional PWM motor control.

The TechGeeks USC (Unidirectional Speed Controller) is a compact, single-channel motor controller PCB designed to drive unidirectional brushless and coreless motors — specifically the 8520 coreless motor used in the TechGeeks suction impeller setup. It accepts a 3–5V supply input, outputs a variable 0–Vin voltage via PWM-controlled MOSFET switching at 30KHz+, handles up to 5A of continuous current, and accepts a 3.3V–5V PWM logic signal directly from your Arduino, STM32, or any microcontroller. Available as a bare unsoldered PCB or a fully soldered ready-to-connect board. Who Is It For: Builders running the suction impeller setup on the Advanced Suction Chassis or any custom robot with an 8520 coreless motor who need PWM-based speed control. Also useful for any single-direction DC or coreless motor application where standard H-bridge drivers are over-specified. Why USC and Not a Standard Motor Driver: The TB6612FNG and L298N are bidirectional H-bridge drivers — appropriate for drive motors that need to reverse direction. The impeller motor only ever spins in one direction. A dedicated unidirectional controller is more efficient, runs cooler, and provides cleaner high-frequency PWM control suited to the 8520 coreless motor's operating characteristics. Recommended: input voltage <5V, PWM 0–35 (2S) / 0–25 (3S) at 31KHz using hardware timers.
