ACROME SMD (Smart Motion Devices) products are modular products designed to simplify the creation of robotics and mechatronics systems with a holistic electronics, mechanics and software approach. See https://acrome.gitbook.io/acrome-smd-docs/electronics/add-on-modules/reflectance-sensor-module for more details about SMD products

The Reflectance Add-On module is a specifically designed board for robotics projects based on SMD products. This module is connected to te Add-On module socket of the SMD Red BDC Motor Driver. It sends the numerical measurement values of 3x QTR-1A IR reflectance sensor over an optimized I2C communication protocol.

Due to the daisychain connection capabilities, you can add as many Reflectance sensors as you want, thanks to the RJ-45 sockets with power rail inside (Power over RJ45), and CAT5/6 cables, you can place sensors anywhere in your application and access them from a central location (ie. your own controller, such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi or PC). The SMD add-on modules share a common physical size, hence multiple modules can be stacked up/down using the provided M3 mounting pads and input-out sockets. Each add-on module has its own microcontroller, enabling onboard pre-processing and buffering.

Note: This product requires other SMD modules, power source (9-16V), a gateway module and a controller to operate. Consider purchasing SMD RED Starter Kit or Education Kit if you are using SMD products for the first time:
