Line Sensor

The Line sensor reference design can be used for line following, edge detection, gesture control, or any number of other applications that can utilize a reflective infrared sensor. We want to share these files with you so you can create your own!

Features


  • I2C communication
  • Green Power LED
  • Mini PIC programming port
  • 3 x Refective optical sensors 18mm apart for Line sensing
