hello, im looking for a sensor to keep my mini sumo robot from going out of the ring. Im looking at this one
http://www.trossenrobotics.com/p/phidgets-IR-relfective-sensor-5mm.aspx
but i dont know how easy it would be to use with the arduino. If anybody knows how to use this sensor with the arduino I would appreciate the help.
I want to enter the national robotics challenge mini sumo competition
http://www.nationalroboticschallenge.org/.
This it the second robot that ive built.
thanks in advance

That *Should* work as long as its a regular interface. If its made specifically for phidgets only then it wont work easily.

Apply 5v to the emitter side and detector side and hook pin 3 up to an i/o pin.
