Cytron Maker Reflect IR Reflectance Sensor for Beginner
Couldn't load pickup availability
The Cytron Maker Reflect IR Reflectance Sensor is a compact and beginner-friendly module designed to help learners understand how infrared reflectance works in robotics and automation.
Using an IR LED and a high-sensitivity phototransistor, it measures how much IR light bounces back from a surface and generates an analog voltage that’s easy for any microcontroller to read. This makes it perfect for exploring concepts like surface detection, black-and-white line following, and reflectivity measurement.
Designed by Cytron with simplicity in mind, this sensor is ideal for kids, students, and makers stepping into DIY robotics projects. Its ultra-small size and centered mounting hole allow it to fit even in tight robot designs, while its 3.3V and 5V compatibility ensures smooth use with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and all common controllers.
Whether you're building a line follower, Sumo bot, maze robot, or encoder-based mechanism, the Maker Reflect delivers reliable IR performance with minimal setup.
