8 Channel IR Sensor Array Line Follower Infrared Detection Module :

 The Robo Pixel 8-Channel IR Sensor Array Module is a high-resolution infrared sensor system built for serious robotic applications. Designed to detect lines and edges with superior accuracy, this module uses 8 individual IR sensors for real-time path tracking and object detection. Perfect for competitive line follower bots, industrial automation, and AI-driven mobile platforms.

Key Features:

• 8 Infrared Sensors: Offers higher detection resolution for smoother turns and accurate path correction.

• Digital/Analog Output Options (based on model): Compatible with all major microcontrollers including Arduino, STM32, Raspberry Pi, etc.

• Onboard Potentiometers: Fine-tune sensitivity for optimal surface contrast detection.

• Fast Response Time: Enables high-speed robotic movement with minimal latency.

• LED Indicators: Visual status for each sensor output – ideal for debugging and adjustments.

How It Works:

Each of the 8 sensors emits infrared light and detects the reflectivity of the surface beneath. Light-colored surfaces reflect IR light, while dark lines (like black tape) absorb it. The module captures these variations and sends binary signals to your microcontroller to guide your robot's movement along the path.

Applications:

• Advanced line following robots

• Path planning and navigation in maze-solving bots

• Edge detection for smart vehicles

• Surface pattern tracking in automation systems

• Educational and competitive robotics
