Code for line follower with baby orangutan 328 and qtr-8rc

Goodnight!!

I have a problem with the programming for my white line follower in black background, the problem is in my code since it is not giving me results and I ask for your support to help me out of this hurry, then I show you the code and the Follower data to help me please, I would greatly appreciate it.

Previously I was using qtr8a sensors and the line follower worked, the problem was when I damaged my analog sensors and unfortunately I did not find the same ones and replace them with qtr8rc (digital) and I thought the programming would be simple to change, but for I have become a mess since the follower does not work.

Microcontroller: Baby Orangutan 328p
Motors: Pololu 10: 1
Sensors: QTR-8RC

Code:

Hello.

Which pins are you using on your Baby Orangutan for the QTR-8RC sensors? Can you post pictures clearly showing the connections between the sensor array and the Baby Orangutan? Also, can you provide more details on what your line follower is suppose to do and what it is actually doing, and, if possible, can you post a video showing the behavior?

Yes, this is the connection diagram that I made.

And as for what it does is after I turn it on and after it calibrates it just turns the left motor.

Correction.

This is the true diagram.

Thanks for posting a nice wiring diagram of your robot. I suspect your power source is not able to provide enough current to run all the components in your system. What kind of power supply are you using (e.g. LiPo battery)? Can you provide a link to its specifications?

By the way, it looks like there are no current-limiting resistors connected between your LEDs and the Baby Orangutan controller. Driving an LED from an I/O line without an appropriate current-limiting resistor risks damaging both the LED and I/O pin, so I recommend adding those resistors.

Hello!
Did you solve your problem? I had the same problem and figured it out that it was the QTR reading, I solved it by simply changing the pins labels, that is, intead of:

QTRSensorsRC qtrrc((unsigned char[]) {14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19}, NUM_SENSORS, TIMEOUT, EMITTER_PIN);

I repleaced it with:

QTRSensorsRC qtrrc((unsigned char[]) {A4, A3, A2, A1, A0},NUM_SENSORS, TIMEOUT, EMITTER_PIN); 

It is now working for me!

Wonderful diagram. May I ask what application or site did you use to draw this diagram?
