1. Introduction
QTR-1RC reflectance sensor.
QTR-8A reflectance sensor array.
The Pololu QTR reflectance sensors carry infrared LED and phototransistor pairs that can provide analog measurements of IR reflectance, which makes them great for close-proximity edge detection and line-following applications. The modules come as compact, single-sensor units (QTR-1A [http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/958] and QTR-1RC [http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/959]) or as 8-sensor arrays (QTR-8A [http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/960] and QTR-8RC [http://www.pololu.com/catalog/product/961]) that can be optionally split into a 2-sensor array and a 6-sensor array. The modules are available in two different output formats: the QTR-xA outputs an analog voltage between 0 and Vcc that can be measured by an analog-to-digital converter (ADC), and the QTR-xRC outputs a pulse that can be measured by a digital I/O line (the duration of which provides an analog measurement of reflectance).
