# Pololu Zumo 32U4 Front Sensor Array

**Type:** Product page · **SKU:** POLOLU-3122 · **Brand:** [Pololu](https://core-electronics.com.au/brands/pololu-australia)
**Page:** https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-zumo-32u4-front-sensor-array.html ([markdown](https://core-electronics.com.au/pololu-zumo-32u4-front-sensor-array.html.md))

This is the front sensor array of the Zumo 32U4 robot. It is included as part of the Zumo 32U4 Robot Kit and built into the assembled versions of the Zumo 32U4 Robots. It is not intended for use with the Zumo Robot for Arduino or Zumo Shield for Arduino. Additional header pins and infrared LEDs are included.

## Pricing

- **Price:** $41.80 (inc GST) — $38.00 AUD, exc GST
- **Quantity discounts:** 10+ $36.48 (exc GST) · 25+ $35.34 (exc GST)

## Availability & dispatch

- Available with a lead time — expect dispatch between Aug 20 and Aug 24.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=POLOLU-3122:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/POLOLU-3122:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

This sensor array features five downward-facing reflectance sensors for line-following or edge-detection, and it also includes front- and side-facing detectors that work together with IR emitters on the Zumo 32U4 main board to create a proximity sensor system. It is primarily intended as a replacement part, but it can also be used to make your own Zumo 32U4 robot if you only want a subset of the parts included with Pololu's full kit. The [Zumo 32U4 OLED Robot Kit](https://core-electronics.com.au/zumo-32u4-oled-robot-kit-no-motors.html) consists of the following:

Two [micro metal gearmotors](https://core-electronics.com.au/category/141/micro-metal-gearmotors-with-extended-motor-shafts) and four [AA batteries](https://core-electronics.com.au/rechargeable-nimh-aa-battery-1-2-v-2200-mah-1-cell.html) are also required to complete the Zumo 32U4 robot.

**Included components**

The Zumo 32U4 Front Sensor Array includes:

- 2×12 extended male header for sensor array
- two 1×3 right-angle male headers and two shorting blocks – jumpers for sensor array
- two wide-angle and two narrow-angle through-hole infrared LEDs (these plug into the main board and serve as forward emitters for the proximity sensor detectors located on the front sensor array)
