Perfect for my Arduino Bot
Works exactly as described. Easy to calibrate the sensitivity potentiometer. Used it for a line follower project and it tracks well on black tape.

Reliable module
We use these in our workshop for beginner kits. They are durable and handle 5V logic well. Highly recommend for education purposes.

Great for learning projects
Bought this for my university robotics project. Very responsive to contrast changes. No issues with wiring to the microcontroller.

Works well indoors
Sensitive to strong ambient light sometimes, but works great indoors. Adjusting the pot helps reduce false triggers significantly.

Good value for money
Solid sensor for the price. Detection range is short but sufficient for obstacle avoidance. Wish the jumper cables were included in the package.
Q: What is the maximum detection distance?
A: The effective range is typically up to 25mm depending on surface reflectivity and ambient light conditions.
Q: Can I use this for detecting water levels?
A: This is designed for reflective surfaces like lines or solid obstacles. It is not recommended for liquids or water level detection.
Q: Does it come with jumper wires?
A: No, the module is sold separately. Standard 3-pin female-to-female jumper wires are required for connection.
Q: Is this compatible with Raspberry Pi GPIO?
A: Yes, it works with Raspberry Pi GPIO pins using 3.3V logic. Ensure you connect the VCC to the 3.3V pin.
Q: How do I adjust the sensitivity?
A: Use the blue potentiometer on the board. Turn clockwise to increase sensitivity and counter-clockwise to decrease it.
