Line Follower Sensor

A line follower sensor equips your robot with the capability to detect lines or nearby objects. Utilizing infrared light, it identifies transitions from light to dark surfaces by measuring reflected light from its own LED. Light-colored surfaces reflect more light than dark ones, enabling the sensor to distinguish between different surfaces effectively.

This sensor is perfect for robotics projects where line following is essential. Imagine a robot navigating a track or an automated vacuum cleaner distinguishing between different floor types. The sensor's ability to differentiate between light and dark surfaces makes it versatile for various applications, from simple educational robots to more complex automated systems.

One of the standout benefits is its compact size and ease of integration into any project. With an operating voltage of 3.3VDC and a sensing distance of 5-10mm, it fits seamlessly into small-scale robotics without compromising performance. The sensor's precision ensures reliable detection, making it a trusted component in any robotics toolkit.

Designed with practicality in mind, this sensor's unique properties lie in its simplicity and efficiency. The infrared LED and phototransistor work in tandem to provide accurate and consistent readings, ensuring your robot stays on track. Whether you're a hobbyist or a professional, this sensor offers the reliability and performance needed for successful robotics projects.
