![../../\_images/infrared1.png](https://kittenbothk-eng.readthedocs.io/en/latest/_images/infrared1.png)

This is an infra red tracker sensor, it can detect when an object is close, it returns an analog value.

The range of the return value is 0-1023, a higher value means the object is closer to the sensor.

```
This is an analog module, it can only use P0-P2.(Remove the buzzer jumper when P0 is in use.)
```

Connect the sensor to Robotbit’s pin and 3V pin.
