• 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.

• Arduino library for the Pololu QTR Reflectance Sensors

  This library for Arduino makes it easy to interface with Pololu QTR Reflectance Sensors.
