SparkFun RedBot Sensor - Line Follower

SparkFun RedBot Line Follower: drive according to the rules

The SparkFun line tracker module for RedBot robots works with infrared radiation. It measures the amount of reflected light and can thus detect the transition between light and shadow (black or white lines).

This sensor has 3 pins to be connected to the main board of the RedBot via jumper cables. The mounting hole in the middle of the module makes it easy to attach the sensor to the robot chassis.
