I do not own a meter but I will see if I can get my hands on one this week! Here is the code:
# Color Line Following Example with PID Steering
#
# For this script to work properly you should point the camera at a line at a
# 45 or so degree angle. Please make sure that only the line is within the
# camera's field of view.

# You may pass up to 16 thresholds above. However, it's not really possible to segment any
# scene with 16 thresholds before color thresholds start to overlap heavily.
# Each roi is (x, y, w, h). The line detection algorithm will try to find the
# centroid of the largest blob in each roi. The x position of the centroids
# will then be averaged with different weights where the most weight is assigned
# to the roi near the bottom of the image and less to the next roi and so on.
