QTR-8RC 8-Channel Analog IR Sensor Array

Product Description

The QTR-8RC 8-Channel Analog IR Sensor Array is a compact and versatile infrared sensing module designed for accurate line detection and surface sensing applications. It features 8 IR sensing channels arranged in a single array, allowing a robot or microcontroller to detect the position of a line with greater detail than a single IR sensor.

The sensor array is particularly useful for line-following robots, maze-solving robots, edge detection, and autonomous robotics projects. It can be interfaced with popular microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, and other development boards for real-time sensor-based control.
