The TCRT 5000 is a dual-channel line tracking sensor module designed for detecting the position of lines on a surface. It uses two TCRT 5000 infrared sensors to detect changes in light reflection, allowing it to track lines or objects accurately. This sensor is often used in robotics, automation, and other applications where precise movement or alignment is required. The module is especially useful for line-following robots and other projects that need to detect black/white contrast or similar surface variations.
Features:
Equipped with a reflected infrared sensor and indicator light.
Built-in potentiometer for sensitivity control.
Onboard LM393 voltage comparator chip and TCRT5000L infrared sensing probe.
Indicator light provides visual feedback for output signal, and the signal can be directly connected to a microcontroller I/O pin.
Adjustable signal detection sensitivity.
Additional circuit options available (P3 voltage output).
Uses the TCRT5000 infrared reflection sensor for precise tracking.
Output format: Digital switch output (0 and 1).
Includes a fixed bolt hole for easy installation.
