Detailed Description

This file contains a class to create a line sensor object.

The object can be used for calibrating the sensor and reading the centroid location of the darkest spot the sensors see.

NOTE: The outer 2 ir sensors are turned off by setting the corresponding self.sens_dist value to 0. Helped with line following lines that split.

IMPORTANT: Calibrating the sensor requires a text file name IR_cal.txt. This calibration will write that file but the user will need to stop ROMI, pull the file off onto a local computer and reflash it to the ROMI. If you do not, ROMI will not recognize the new file and will not calibrate.
