/*
  QTRSensors.h - Library for using Pololu QTR reflectance
  sensors and reflectance sensor arrays: QTR-1A, QTR-8A, QTR-1RC, and 
  QTR-8RC.  The object used will determine the type of the sensor (either
  QTR-xA or QTR-xRC).  Then simply specify in the constructor which 
  Arduino I/O pins are connected to a QTR sensor, and the read() method
  will obtain reflectance measurements for those sensors.  Smaller sensor
  values correspond to higher reflectance (e.g. white) while larger
  sensor values correspond to lower reflectance (e.g. black or a void).
  
  * QTRSensorsRC should be used for QTR-1RC and QTR-8RC sensors.
  * QTRSensorsAnalog should be used for QTR-1A and QTR-8A sensors.
