DT-SENSE Photoreflector V2


DT-SENSE Photoreflector V2 is a smart sensor modules that can be used to detect object / line color (light colored lines with a dark background or vice versa). The module is capable of learning to differentiate paths and backgrounds and able to adapt to changes in ambient light. Sensor module is equipped with a TTL UART and I2C interface. Examples of applications DT-SENSE Photoreflector V2 among other line tracking / following, robot navigation, obstacle detection, or other applications that use pronsip light reflections.

To be noted:
DT-SENSE Photoreflector V2 uses a different sensor from version 1. The part that changed was the DT-SENSE Firmware and Hardware Photoreflector Photoreflector Sensor DT-SENSE.
This makes version 2 are not compatible with version 1, and vice versa. DT-SENSE photoreflector version 1 can not be used with DT-SENSE Photoreflector Sensor version 2. DT-SENSE Photoreflector version 2 can not be used with DT-SENSE Photoreflector Sensor version 1.
