Product Description of 8 Channel Line Following Sensor

This reflectance sensor array mostly used as a line sensor. It can also be used as a proximity sensor or reflectance sensor. This sensor contains 8 IR emitter and receiver pair. And there are 0.375 inches spaced between two sensors. First, you have to charge the output node by applying a voltage to its output pin. Then you can read the reflectance by withdrawing the externally supplied voltage and timing. We have to notice its time how long it takes the output voltage to decay due to the integrated phototransistor. If the decay time is shorter than it is the greater reflection of indication.

Features of Line Tracking Array Module:

• In this sensor, no ADC is required.
• It has improved sensitivity over voltage-divider analog output.
• It has a parallel reading of multiple sensors is possible with most microcontrollers.
• Its parallel reading allows optimized use of LED power enables the option.
• Its operating voltages are 3.3 to 5V.
• Its supply current is 100mA.
• It has 8 digital input-output signals that can be read as a timed high pulse.
• Its optimal sensing distance is 0.125 inches.
• Its maximum sensing distance is 0.375 inches.
• On this sensor parallel reading of multiple sensors is possible
