ARC Pro

Upgrade to ARC Pro

Your robot can be more than a simple automated machine with the power of ARC Pro!

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
