i want to build an IR - 16 Sensor Array PCB, for fast line follower robot, the 16 IR Sensors should be in an ARC design
Created a project doc

IR Sensor Array Requirements Confirmed requirements
  • PCB for a fast line-following robot.
  • 16 infrared reflectance sensors.
  • Sensors arranged in an arc.
Decisions still needed
  • Overall sensing width and arc depth (or arc radius), including which direction the arc faces relative to robot travel.
  • Sensor-to-track operating distance.
  • Track line width and surface characteristics.
  • Available supply voltage and robot controller/interface.
  • Target full-array update rate.
  • Mechanical envelope and mounting locations.
Current state
Only this requirements note has been created. No sensors have been selected or verified. The project has no components, nets, schematic, or PCB layout. No simulation or design verification has been performed.

I saved your requirements in IR Sensor Array Requirements: 16 IR reflectance sensors arranged in an arc for a fast line-following robot. No components or PCB layout have been created yet; the next inputs needed are sensing width, arc depth, and sensor height above the track.
Sensor research and PCB design require Agent mode. Execution stopped because your ACUs ran out.
What is Agent mode?
Agent mode lets Flux build, do deep research, validate designs, and work through complex assignments.
Chat mode is just as smart and has the same engineering knowledge, but it cannot work autonomously.
Only Agent mode consumes your plan's included AI usage (measured in ACUs).

Next work
Clarify geometry and operating height first, then choose reflectance sensors and readout architecture, check update-rate and optical-crosstalk requirements, and design the schematic before proceeding to PCB layout.
