QTR-3A Reflectance Sensor Array
This compact module packs three IR LED/phototransistor pairs onto a 1.25″ × 0.3″ board. The sensors are mounted on a 0.375″ pitch, making this array a great minimal sensing solution for a line-following robot. Each sensor provides a separate analog voltage output.

mbed library for QTR sensors
Matthew Phillipps ported our Arduino Library for the Pololu QTR Reflectance Sensors to the mbed platform. The Arduino library is designed to work with Pololu QTR reflectance sensors, so the mbed library should too, but Matthew points out he only tested it with the analog sensors. This library was not written and is not maintained by Pololu.
