Line Follower 5 Channels Infrared Sensor Module TCRT5000 BFD-1000 Blue

Line Follower 5 Channels Infrared Sensor Module TCRT5000 BFD-1000 Blue

The 5-Channel TCRT5000 Line Tracking Sensor Module is ideal for building line-following robots and autonomous vehicles using platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers. It integrates five TCRT5000 reflective infrared sensors for precise line detection. Designed to identify contrasts between black and white surfaces, it is particularly effective for dark lines on a light background.

Package Includes:

  • 1 x 5-Channel TCRT5000 Line Tracking Sensor Module

Features:

  • 5x TCRT5000 Sensors: Provides accurate and responsive multi-line detection.
  • Digital Output: Each sensor outputs HIGH or LOW for easy interpretation by microcontrollers.
  • High IR Sensitivity: Effectively detects IR-reflective differences between light and dark surfaces.
  • Hex Inverter Chip: Ensures clean and stable digital output signals.
  • 5V Logic Compatible: Works directly with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, etc.
  • LED Indicators: Onboard LEDs provide real-time feedback when lines are detected.
  • Easy Mounting: Comes with M3 mounting holes for integration into robot chassis.
