Line Hunting Sensor Module

- Photosensitive diode
- Working power: + 5V
- Working current: < 10mA
- Working temperature range: 0'C 50'C
- Output electrical level signal: TTL
- Output interface: 3 wire
- Easy to install

 Please note that some versions of this module may use a different pinout order, but are functionally the same: GND/VCC/OUT (G/V+/S)

This is a simple example of how to use the HobbyComponents Arduino Line hunting
sensor module (HCARDU0005). It is a very simple module that requires only one DIO
pin (defined as an input) to operate. When the sensor detects a reflective object 
in close proximity it will pull a DIO pin that it has been connected to LOW. A 
non reflective or no object in close proximity will cause the DIO pin to go high.

You may copy, alter and reuse this code in any way you like but please leave
