Overview
Line following is a crucial algorithm for many mobile robots, particularly Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs), and serves as the foundation for many control algorithms. The IR Line Detection Sensor Module is designed to simplify line detection for mobile robots using infrared (IR) reflection. With an easy-to-use design, this module features a bottom-mounted sensor perfect for detecting lines on the ground in robotic applications. It includes an onboard potentiometer for adjustable sensitivity and outputs a digital signal, making it compatible with any microcontroller.
Key Features
- Operating Voltage: 3.3V or 5V DC
- Pin Interface:
- AO (Analog Output): High voltage when no obstacle is detected; voltage decreases with infrared reflection.
- DO (Digital Output): Logic LOW when an object is detected.
- GND: Connects to ground.
- VCC: Connects to +3.3V or +5V supply.
- LED Indicators: Power indicator and object detection indicator.
- Detection Range: 5mm to 10mm from the sensor.
- Adjustable Sensitivity: Onboard potentiometer allows customizable detection range.
- Compact Design: Easy to assemble and integrate into any project.
- Output Options: Both digital and analog outputs.
- Wide Compatibility: Works with all microcontrollers, including Arduino, Raspberry Pi, CT-UNO, CIKU, and more.
- Dimensions: 3.2cm x 1.4cm
Perfect for robotic line-following applications, this sensor is a must-have for creating responsive and reliable mobile robots.
