Hi mael,

If you’re referring to the five QTR-RC sensors on the 3pi, I can certainly help you there. There are a number of ways to do this. The sensor readings are accessible via the read_line_sensors() function (and a few similar ones). The slightly different read_line() function returns the relative position of a detected line. A good example of this is in the 3pi Line-Following with PID Control section of the 3pi manual, and it should be enough to get you started.

I’m not sure what you mean by the LEDs not being bright enough; the red and green LEDs are not associated with the QTR-RC sensors and do not affect their readings. Could you explain some more?

Thanks,
Geoff
