TCRT5000 Infrared Reflective Line Follower Module

This is a dual-output line Tracking sensor module based on IR Sensor TCRT5000L. The module has a sensitivity adjustment Pot, LED indicator for Power, and an LED indicator for detection. These Modules are often used in line following robots, object sorting Robots as the module can sense if a surface is white or black. The measuring distance range is between 1mm to 8mm and the ideal point is about 2.5mm-3mm. TCRT5000 module can be easily mounted to Robot Chassis using mounting hole. Some of the applications of this module include : Meter pulse data sampling, Paper shredders detection, Obstacle detection, Black and white line detection etc.
