SEN-KY033LT Developer boards - Line Tracker

This sensor transmits and receives infrared. It can detect whether it has a reflective surface (the sensor receives its own signal) or an absorbent surface (the sensor does not receive a signal) in front of it. The sensitivity of the sensor can be adjusted using a potentiometer.

Robots, for example, can use three of these sensors to perform an automated line tracker function.
