Add reflected-infrared sensing to a RedBot project with this line-follower board. Its emitter and detector respond to changes between light and dark surfaces or nearby objects. A three-pin header connects to the host, and a mounting hole supports positioning the sensor on a chassis for experiments with line tracking.
