5-Channel Infrared Reflective Sensor TCRT5000 TCRT 5000 KIT 5 Way IR Photoelectric Line Follower Line Track Module

The TCRT5000 5-Channel Infrared Reflective Sensor Kit is designed for precise line tracking and object detection applications. Using five individual TCRT5000 infrared reflective sensors, this kit is perfect for building line-following robots, automated systems, or projects requiring precise object detection. The TCRT5000 sensors work by emitting infrared light, which is reflected off surfaces back to the sensor, allowing the detection of objects or lines based on the reflection. This module is ideal for use with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or other microcontrollers.

Key Features:

• Five Sensors: Equipped with five individual TCRT5000 IR reflective sensors for accurate line tracking.
• Operating Voltage: 3.3V – 5V
• Output Type: Digital (High/Low)
• Detection Range: 1 cm to 5 cm (varies with surface and ambient light conditions)
• Adjustable Sensitivity: Potentiometer for tuning sensor detection range.
• Interface: Simple 3-pin (VCC, GND, OUT) interface for each sensor.
• Fast Response Time: Quick detection, ideal for real-time control in robotics.
• Compact & Lightweight: Easy to mount and integrate into robotics or automated systems.

Technical Details

How It Works:

Each TCRT5000 sensor in the kit consists of an infrared LED and a phototransistor. The LED emits infrared light, which is reflected back from objects or surfaces like a line (typically black or dark) to the phototransistor. The phototransistor then detects the amount of reflected infrared light, converting this into a digital output signal (HIGH or LOW). When the sensor detects the line (dark surface), it outputs a LOW signal; when it detects a non-line surface (light surface), it outputs a HIGH signal. This data can be used to control the movement of robots or devices.

Applications:

• Line Following Robots: Use this sensor kit to detect and follow lines (typically black lines on white surfaces) for robotics applications.
• Object Detection: Detect edges or obstacles in a given environment for navigation or avoidance tasks.
• Automation Projects: Integrate into home automation or industrial systems for object detection or tracking.
• Obstacle Avoidance: Use in mobile robots to detect obstacles or boundaries in their path.
