The Pololu QTR-1A reflectance sensor carries a single infrared LED and phototransistor pair. The phototransistor is connected to a pull-up resistor to form a voltage divider that produces an analog voltage output between 0 V and VIN (which is typically 5 V) as a function of the reflected IR.

The QTR-1A reflectance sensor carries a single infrared LED and phototransistor pair in an inexpensive, tiny 0.5" x 0.3" module that can be mounted almost anywhere and is great for edge detection and line following applications. The reflectance measurement is …

The Pololu QTR reflectance sensors can be used to sense how much infrared light is reflected from a nearby surface. The QTR sensors are intended to be used as line sensors in line-following, maze-solving, and sumo robots, but they can be used as general purpose proximity or reflectance sensors. They are available in two output types:

The Pololu QTR-1A Reflectance Sensor carries a single infrared LED and phototransistor pair in an inexpensive, tiny 0.5" x 0.3" sensor module that can be mounted almost anywhere and is great for edge detection and line following applications. The LED current-limiting resistor is set to deliver approximately 20-25 mA to the LED when VIN is 5V.
