TECH TIPS:

Note: The latest version of the QTRSensors library is not backwards compatible with the provided sample sketch which was created for this kit. To use that sketch you will need to install a previous version of the library. Fortunately, this is easy to do. To install it, go to Tools > Manage Libraries in the Arduino IDE. Then search for QTRSensors and install version 3.1.0.
