6. SENSOR CALIBRATION

BeforestartusingtheMAKER-LINE,thesensorsneedtobecalibratedsothatitcandifferentiate
betweenthelineandthebackground.CalibrationdatawillbesavedintheEEPROManditwill
beretainedevenaftertheMAKER-LINEispoweroff.

Calibrationonlyneedstobecarriedoutonceunlessthesensorheight,lineorbackgroundcolor
haschanged.Toperformsensorcalibration,followthestepsbelow:

1. MounttheMAKER-LINEtotherobotexactlythewayitwillbeusedandpowerupthesensor.
2. Selectthelinecolorusingtheslideswitch.
3. Pressandholdthecalibratebuttonformorethan2seconds.TheLEDswillshowthe
progresswhilewaiting.
4. All5LEDswillstartblinkingafterenteringcalibrationmode.Thepushbuttoncanbe
releasednow.
5. SwaptheMAKER-LINEacrossthelinesothatallsensorshavebeenexposedtotheline.
6. Pressthecalibratebuttonagaintoexitcalibrationmode.TheLEDswillshowthecalibration
result.
● RunningLight : Calibrationissuccessful.
● FastBlink : Calibrationfailed.Contrastbetweenlineandbackgroundistoo
loworthesensoristoohighfromthesurface.

NowtheMAKER-LINEiscalibratedandisreadytouse.
Warning:
Please make sure the distance of MAKER-LINE from the surface does not change
during the calibration process.
Check out this video on how to calibrate the sensor.
