Nano Line Sensor

Category: Sensor
Cost: $12.00

Line sensor for REALLY small robots!

  • Dual-sensor line detector
  • Only 0.95" x 0.275" x 0.10" thick (Perfect for NanoSumos!)
  • Range of ~1-5mm
  • Each IR photodetector measures surface reflectivity to distinguish dark and light surfaces
  • Analog output per sensor reads less than 1V for distances of ~1-5mm from a white surface, and quickly ramps up to ~5V beyond 5mm. Also reads ~5V for a black surface.
  • Outputs compatible with digital inputs of most microcontrollers and other logic devices. (Use with the MEGAbitty's interrupt inputs for quick response to surface color transitions!)
  • 5V operation
