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.

/* Define the DIO pin that will be used to communicate with the sensor */

#define LINEHUNTSENS_DIO 2


/* Initialise serial and DIO */
void setup()

{

  /* Setup the serial port for displaying the status of the sensor */

  Serial.begin(9600);

  

  /* Configure the DIO pin the sensor will be connected to as an input */

  pinMode(LINEHUNTSENS_DIO, INPUT); 

}



/* Main program loop */
void loop()

{

  /* If the DIO pin is pulled low then an object has been detected */

  if (!digitalRead(LINEHUNTSENS_DIO))

    Serial.println("Object detected !");
