Line Tracking Infrared Sensor 5 Channel TCRT5000

The 5-Channel Line Tracking Infrared Sensor Module TCRT5000 is a reliable sensing solution designed for line-following robots and intelligent navigation projects. It integrates five high-quality TCRT5000 infrared sensor pairs on a single PCB, allowing accurate detection of black and white surfaces through reflected infrared light.

Each channel provides a digital output, enabling fast response and easy interfacing with microcontrollers such as Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards. The onboard adjustable potentiometers allow fine-tuning of sensitivity to suit different surface colors and lighting conditions. This makes the module highly adaptable for robotics competitions, educational projects, and autonomous vehicle applications. The compact board design includes mounting slots for easy installation on robot chassis, while the supplied jumper wires simplify connections during prototyping. With stable performance and consistent detection, this sensor module is ideal for line tracking, edge detection, and path-following applications in DIY and professional robotics projects.
