Interfacing with the QTR-3A Outputs

There are several ways you can interface with the QTR-3A outputs:

• Use a microcontroller’s analog-to-digital converter (ADC) to measure the voltages.
• Use a comparator with an adjustable threshold to convert each analog voltage into a digital (i.e. black/white) signal that can be read by the digital I/O line of a microcontroller.
• Connect each output directly to a digital I/O line of a microcontroller and rely upon its internal comparator.
