About the Sensor Array PCB

Sensor Array is an open source PCB design by bsce26023, published on GitHub under the MIT license. It is a 2-layer board measuring 125 × 71 mm, with 37 components from 4 distinct parts.

Other key parts include the TCRT5000. By type, the board carries 12 ICs, 12 capacitors, 12 resistors and 1 connector.

It belongs with the robotics & motion, sensors and power & battery designs in this gallery.

From the project

This repo is for a line following robot. I've designed this robot keeping in mind that this could be used in competitions. It is designed for high speed performance and complex line following

Hi! I wanted to make a Line Following Robot(LFR) and I visited some shops and online marketplaces but I couldn't find a good, fast, compact and accurate robot with a reasonable price. So, I created a LFR from scratch including the PCBs for main board and sensor array for the hardware part and code in 5 separate files. Now I will explain Components, Wiring, Coding, and sensor array separately.
