QTR-8RC Reflectance Sensor Array
Technical Overview
The QTR-8RC Reflectance Sensor Array Module is a cost-effective, high-performance solution designed for line-following robotics and general-purpose reflectance or proximity sensing. Sourced through FamePhase Electronics Accessories , this board features eight IR LED/phototransistor pairs arranged at a 9.525mm pitch, providing digital I/O-compatible outputs that integrate directly with microcontrollers without needing an ADC. The module minimizes power consumption by pairing LEDs together and offering brightness control through PWM or MOSFET switching. Featuring full compatibility with 3.3V and 5V logic, rapid sampling up to 1kHz, and a compact form factor, it delivers a dependable baseline for students, developers, and makers building automated line-tracking systems.
