Works well but sensitive to ambient light
The sensor works as described, but I found it struggles a bit under direct sunlight. If you are using this indoors or in a shaded robot chassis, it's perfect. Just be aware of the environment.

Reliable and fast response
I've used expensive industrial sensors before, and while this isn't in that league, it is incredibly reliable for hobbyist speed requirements. The output switches cleanly without jitter.

Great for university projects
Bought five of these for a final year project. They all performed identically. The 3.3V compatibility is a huge plus when working with newer microcontrollers like the ESP32.

Perfect for line follower robots
This sensor works flawlessly with my Arduino Uno. The detection range is consistent, and it easily distinguishes between black tape and white paper. Highly recommended for beginner robotics projects.

Good value, needs calibration
Solid build quality for the price. You do need to spend some time adjusting the potentiometer to get the sensitivity right for your specific lighting conditions, but once set, it stays stable.

Compact and easy to mount
The small footprint makes it very easy to fit onto tight PCB designs. The mounting holes are standard size, making mechanical integration straightforward. Will buy again.
Q: Can I use this with a Raspberry Pi GPIO?
A: Yes, since the module supports 3.3V operation, you can connect VCC to the 3.3V pin on your Raspberry Pi. The digital output is TTL compatible and safe for the Pi's GPIO pins.
Q: What is the maximum current this module draws?
A: Under typical operating conditions at 5V, the module draws approximately 20mA when the IR LED is active. Please ensure your microcontroller pin can source enough current if powering directly, though we recommend powering via the VCC rail.
Q: Does this come with header pins soldered?
A: No, the module is shipped without header pins to allow for flexible mounting options (such as soldering wires directly or using right-angle headers). You will need to solder your own connectors.
Q: Is the output analog or digital?
A: This breakout board provides a digital output (HIGH/LOW). There is an onboard comparator that converts the analog signal from the phototransistor into a clean digital signal based on the threshold set by the potentiometer.
Q: Can this sensor detect clear plastic objects?
A: The QRE1113 relies on reflected infrared light. Clear plastic may allow the IR to pass through rather than reflect it back, resulting in unreliable detection. It works best on opaque surfaces with contrasting colors.
