The pins provide connections for power (3V and 0V) and 2 sensor outputs, marked L and R for the left and right sensors respectively.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe board requires a 3V - 5V (typically 3.3V) and a ground connection onto the pin header. These pins are marked on the board as 3V and 0V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe sensor output voltage changes from the supply voltage to 0V as the sensors pass over light and dark surfaces. Different surfaces will reflect different amounts. A typical light surface will give a value of 0.5V for example. A typical dark surface will give a value of 2.5V (assuming a 3V VCC). The value in a program will depend on the processor's ADC range and width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSurface.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eResponse.\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLight.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eLow Voltage ˜ 0V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDark.\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh Voltage ˜ 3V\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003ca href=\"https:\/\/makecode.microbit.org\/#tutorial:https:\/\/github.com\/KitronikLtd\/pxt-kitronik-move-motor\/LineFollowing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"\u003eMakeCode online tutorial\u003c\/a\u003e is available to show how the sensors can be used for line following.
