This page describes the connection of the i2c line following sensor to the Boe-Bot robot.

This sensor uses an i2c bus for connection with the processor. To understand more about the communication, read following two articles:


Please, read the following communication in case of the problems with line detection. And there is a solution: sensors used to be separated from themselves.
