Thank you for purchasing Line Sensor Array. This unit has been carefully engineered and tested to provide superior performance. This document covers the features and operation of Line Sensor Array. This is an easy-to-use module with 7 reflective sensors. It can be easily used with a microcontroller as it gives TTL compatible outputs. The output pins can be directly connected to microcontroller pins which give active low output when white line is detected. The main use of this module is for very fast line following.

Features
Simple interface (VCC, GND, 7 Outputs) Open drain pulled up TTL compatible outputs On Board Regulator Operating voltage from 5V - 20 V 7 Sensor in a array form Indicator LEDs on top side for current status of sensor Less sensitive to external ambient light Can Detect colour difference

Jumper Function
Jumper J1 can be used to select input voltage. If you are giving input of +5V keep the jumper closed. If you want to give more than 5V remove the jumper. This will enable the onboard 5V regulator. The board requires about 300ma of current. So if your 5V supply is not enough to drive both your microcontroller board and the sensor board you can directly plug in your +VE battery supply to VCC pin Make sure you are not giving more than 5V to VCC pin when the jumper is closed. This may damage the board permanently.

Interface
Pin 1 is Ground. Do not forget to short this pin with your microcontroller board ground grid. Pin 2 is VCC. You can supply either +5V directly from the board or battery voltage. Please read the above section carefully before giving the voltage. Pin 3-9 are output pins. These pins provide active low outputs. This means it will provide Ground to microcontroller pins when the sensor is sensing light color.
