Perfect for line follower robot
Works exactly as described. Easy to calibrate with the potentiometer and interfaces well with Arduino Uno.

Reliable for projects
Used this for a final year project. Very stable output once the sensitivity is tuned correctly.

Needs calibration
Works well but requires some tweaking to get the right threshold for different surfaces.

Good value sensor
Solid build quality for the price. Detection range is short but accurate for close proximity tasks.

Great bulk purchase
Bought 20 units for our student club. All sensors were functional and consistent in performance.
Q: Is this compatible with 3.3V logic systems?
A: Yes, the module operates safely between 3.3V and 5V DC.
Q: Is there an analog output available?
A: Yes, the AO pin provides analog output while DO provides digital switching.
Q: Does this come with pin headers soldered?
A: No, pin headers are not included and must be soldered separately.
Q: Can it detect black tape on a white surface?
A: Yes, that is the primary use case for line following applications.
Q: What is the maximum detection range?
A: The effective detection distance is approximately 25mm depending on surface reflectivity.
