Good value
Works well but sensitive to strong ambient light. Adjust accordingly.

A: Yes, as long as you connect it to a GPIO pin configured for digital input.
Q: Can it detect black tape on white floor?
A: Yes, that is the standard use case for line following applications.
Q: What is the current consumption?
A: Typical current consumption is around 20mA during operation.
Q: Does it support analog output?
A: This module provides digital output only. The analog pin on the sensor is not populated.
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity?
A: Use the blue potentiometer on the board. Turn it until the LED reacts to your surface.
