5 Channel IR Line Tracking Sensor Module (TCRT5000)

Description

This 5 channel IR line tracking sensor module TCRT5000 is a sensor board that can use to track black lines on a white surface. It consists of 5 TCRT5000 infrared sensors, each of which is capable of detecting the presence or absence of a line. The sensors are arranged in a line, with each sensor spaced 10mm apart. This allows the module to detect the edges of a line and follow it accurately.

The input voltage for a 5 way line tracking module is typically 5V. The module power by a 5V supply and can use with a variety of microcontrollers, including Arduino. It is a popular choice for building line follower robots, as it is relatively inexpensive and easy to use.

If you are using a 5 way line tracking module with a microcontroller, it is important to ensure that the microcontroller can also operate at 5V. If the microcontroller is only designed to operate at a lower voltage, such as 3.3V, then you will need to use a voltage regulator to step down the 5V from the module to the lower voltage that the microcontroller can use.

The 5 channel IR line tracking sensor module works by emitting infrared light and detecting the amount of reflected infrared light that is returned. When the sensor is over a black line, the amount of reflected infrared light is low. When the sensor is over a white surface, the amount of reflected infrared light is high.

The module has 5 sensors, each of which is connected to a digital output pin. The output of each sensor is HIGH when the sensor is over a black line and LOW when the sensor is over a white surface.

• Output: Digital

5 Channel IR Line Tracking Sensor Module Pin Descriptions : –

The sensor outputs (S0-S4) are all digital outputs. They will output a HIGH signal when the sensor is over a black line and a LOW signal when the sensor is over a white surface. The reset pin (RES) is a low-active pin. This means that it will reset the module when it is pulled LOW. The LED indicator (LED) is a power-on indicator. It will light up when the module is power on.

Here is the pin description for the 5 Channel TCRT5000 IR Sensor Module:

• VCC: This pin is the power supply for the module. It should connect to a 5V power supply.
• GND: This pin is the ground for the module. It should connect to the ground of the power supply.
• S0: This pin is the sensor output for the first sensor.
• S1: This pin is the sensor output for the second sensor.
• S2: This pin is the sensor output for the third sensor.
• S3: This pin is the sensor output for the fourth sensor.
• S4: This pin is the sensor output for the fifth sensor.
• RES: This pin is the reset pin for the module. It can use to reset the module if it is not working properly.
• LED: This pin is the LED indicator for the module. It will light up when the module power on.
