Pololu QTRX-MD-13RC Reflectance Sensor Array: 13-Channel, 8mm Pitch, RC Output, Low Current

The QTRX-MD-13RC Reflectance Sensor Array is a 13-channel device with an 8mm pitch and RC output. It offers a low current, with the maximum current for the LED being 3.5mA and the board's maximum current being 31mA. The sensor array's size is 101.0mm x 16.5mm, and it has an optimal range of 10mm. The QTRX-MD-13RC Reflectance Sensor Array is perfect for accurately identifying changes in reflectance, such as line detection. It operates within a voltage range of 2.9V to 5.5V. This sensor array stands out due to its dimmable brightness control, which is independent of the supply voltage. Moreover, it provides separate controls for the odd and even emitters.One of the key benefits of this sensor array is that the closer the object, the higher the contrast between light and dark readings. This makes it easier to detect objects. Furthermore, high-reflectance objects can be detected up to approximately 40mm, providing a significant detection range.This version of the QTRX-MD-13RC Reflectance Sensor Array is equipped with high-performance, low-current QTRX sensors with lenses. This feature enhances the overall performance of the sensor array, making it a reliable and efficient solution for various applications.
