SmartElex RLS-08 Line Sensor Array with 8-Channel Analog & Digital Line Tracking
SmartElex RLS-08 Line Sensor Array with 8-Channel Analog & Digital Line Tracking The SmartElex RLS-08 Line Sensor Array is designed for building accurate and efficient line follower robots. It features 8 IR LED and phototransistor pairs that detect lines and edges with precision. Each sensor provides both analog and digital outputs, along with adjustable sensitivity via potentiometers, giving you better control for various lighting and surface conditions. This line tracking sensor uses high-quality TCRT5000 reflectance sensors, making it suitable not only for line-following applications but also as a general-purpose proximity or reflectance sensor. The LEDs can be turned off using a MOSFET switch to save power when not in use. Compact, reliable, and easy to interface, it’s perfect for students, hobbyists, and robotic projects. Features: Equipped with 8 IR LED and phototransistor pairs for precise line detection. Supports both analog and digital output for flexible operation. Adjustable sensitivity for each sensor using a potentiometer. Evenly spaced sensors at 15mm intervals for accurate line tracking. Uses efficient TCRT5000 sensors for high reliability and performance. Includes power-saving LED control through a MOSFET switch. Easy to mount and directly connectable to most microcontrollers.
