Activity 4: Introduction to the Line Finder Sensor
Introduction
For the fourth activity, you will use a line-finding sensor. In this example, you will
connect a Line Finder Sensor to digital sensor port D2. You will create a sketch to
read digital input from the Line Finder Sensor.
Sensors enable us to gather information from the world around us. The type of
information depends on the type of sensor. The Line Finder Sensor uses reflected
infrared light to distinguish between light and dark surfaces.
