K1065 LDR Line Following Kit

K1065 LDR Line Following Kit – Robot Sensor & Control Kit (Assembly Required)

Quick Summary

The K1065 LDR Line Following Kit allows students to build a sensor-based system that detects and follows a path. Using light-dependent resistors, it provides a practical introduction to robotics, automation, and control systems, and can be paired with a motor driver or microcontroller for full robot operation.

Key Features

• Line detection using LDR (light-dependent resistor) sensors
• Designed for line-following robot applications
• Compatible with motor drivers such as K1071
• Can be integrated with microcontrollers for advanced control
• Hands-on soldering and robotics project

What’s Included

• 1 × K1065 PCB
• LDR sensors
• Electronic components (resistors, transistors, etc.)
Note: Requires motor driver (e.g. K1071), motors, and power supply. Assembly required.
