TCRT5000 Single Channel Line Tracking Sensor Module – Infrared Reflective Sensor for Arduino and Robotics
The TCRT5000 Line Tracking Sensor Module is a compact infrared reflective sensor used to detect lines and edges on a surface. It’s perfect for line-following robots, edge detection, and object counting systems. Compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontrollers, this sensor is a must-have for beginner and advanced robotics projects.
 
Key Features:
Infrared Reflective Sensing
Uses IR LED and phototransistor to detect surface contrast, like black lines on white backgrounds.
High Precision Line Detection
Detects presence or absence of reflected light from surfaces, making it ideal for line-tracking tasks.
Digital Output
Outputs a simple HIGH/LOW signal based on detection, easy to interface with any microcontroller.
Adjustable Sensitivity
Onboard potentiometer allows sensitivity adjustment depending on your surface and lighting.
Compact and Lightweight
Small form factor for easy integration into compact robotic systems.
