Pi 5 OpenCV Lane Detection Car Kit with Raspberry Pi 5 + Camera
Master Autonomous Navigation: Pi 5 OpenCV Lane Detection Car Kit with Raspberry Pi 5 & Camera
Every part needed, pre-tested for compatibility, with an AI build companion trained on this exact project. Shipped from Bengaluru in 3-5 days.
You’ll build a 2WD robot that uses computer vision to detect road lanes and autonomously steer, mimicking the core technology behind modern self-driving cars. This project is a showstopper for engineering final-year submissions, hackathons like Smart India Hackathon, or a deep dive into embedded AI. By the end, you’ll have a fully functional lane-following car that processes live video from the Pi Camera Module 3, runs OpenCV on the Raspberry Pi 5 to identify lane markings, and sends precise steering corrections to an Arduino Nano over UART.
What You'll Build
A complete autonomous vehicle that navigates test tracks in real time. The car uses edge detection and perspective transform to locate lane lines, computes steering angles, and transmits differential motor commands to the Arduino motor driver. You’ll see immediate results as the car smoothly follows a taped course, exactly like a scaled-down prototype for smart mobility projects.
What You'll Learn
- Real-time lane detection using OpenCV on Raspberry Pi 5 with Python
- UART serial communication between Pi and Arduino for low-latency robotic control
- Interfacing the L298N motor driver and implementing PWM-based speed and direction control
- Debugging and deploying an embedded computer vision pipeline on a mobile platform

Who This Kit Is For
This advanced kit is built for B.Tech ECE/EEE/CS students tackling final-year projects, participants in Smart India Hackathon or robotics competitions, and any maker serious about embedded computer vision. It’s also ideal for ATL Tinkering Lab mentors demonstrating real-world AI applications, and for IIT/NIT/VIT students exploring autonomous systems as part of their coursework or research.
Built and Backed by Compoden
Every Compoden kit ships with an AI build companion trained on this exact project — accessible via a QR code on the box, with WhatsApp and email backup. We've spent 10 years building projects for makers, schools, and institutions across India. If a part fails because of a manufacturing defect, replace it free within 7 days.
What if I get stuck during the build?
The AI companion covers every wiring, software, and calibration step. If you still need help, our WhatsApp support responds with personalized guidance within a few hours.
Do I need prior experience with OpenCV?
Some familiarity with Python and basic Linux commands helps, but the AI companion walks you through installing OpenCV, running the lane detection pipeline, and debugging errors. Our WhatsApp team can also assist.
Can this car run on outdoor roads?
The chassis and TT motors are designed for smooth indoor surfaces or clearly marked test tracks. Outdoor roads with uneven terrain may affect lane detection accuracy; you can upgrade the chassis if your project requires it.
What if the Raspberry Pi 5 does not boot?
We pre-load the MicroSD card with Raspberry Pi OS and all essential libraries, tested before shipment. If boot issues occur, the AI companion provides immediate troubleshooting steps, and you can reach us on WhatsApp for a replacement card if needed.
