The Line Follower sensor is an add-on for your shadow chassis that gives your robot the ability to detect lines or
nearby objects. The sensor works by detecting reflected light coming from its own infrared LED. By measuring the
amount of reflected infrared light, it can detect transitions from light to dark (lines) or even objects directly in front of it.
The sensor has a 3-pin header which connects directly to the moto:bit carrier board via female to female jumper
wires. A mounting hole lets you easily connect one or more of these to the front or back of your robot chassis.
Hardware Hookup
Like the motors, you should have already hooked up the line sensors during the assembly portion of this guide. You
can go there now for the full assembly instructions. Double check to make sure that the wires are hooked up to your
line sensors correctly!
