Reliable sensor
We used these for a university competition. Very stable readings compared to IR sensors.
5 FAQ
Q: Is this compatible with 3.3V microcontrollers?
A: Yes, but we recommend using a logic level converter for stable communication.
Q: Does it come with sample code?
A: Yes, a link to Arduino and STM32 libraries is provided in the manual.
Q: What is the maximum speed supported?
A: Speed depends on your processing unit. The sensor itself has a fast response time suitable for most hobby robots.
Q: What is the optimal mounting height?
A: For best results, mount the sensor 5mm to 10mm above the track surface.
Q: Can this detect colored lines?
A: No, this is a grayscale CCD sensor designed for contrast detection.
