TCRT 5000 Dual Channel Line Tracking sensor

The Dual Channel Line Tracking sensor module is called TCRT 5000.

To detect colour and distance, this IR reflecting sensor module made use of a TCRT5000 IR sensor. There is an IR transmitter and an IR receiver in this sensor module. An obstruction reflects the infrared signal that the infrared transmitter continuously generates, and the infrared receiver picks it up.

Because the TCRT5000 Infrared Reflective Sensor Module can detect whether a surface is white or black, it is frequently employed in line-following and object-sorting robots. The central point is approximately 2.5 mm, and the measuring range is 1 to 8 mm.

To further modify the sensitivity, an inbuilt potentiometer is included. When the module is powered on, the infrared diode will continuously produce infrared. If the infrared light is not reflected back or is not strong enough, the receiver diode will be in the off state, and the output pin, or DO, will be low.

Uses:

• Sampling of metre pulse data for fax paper shredder detection
• Identifying obstacles
• Detection of both black and white lines

Features:

• Indicator light and reflected infrared sensor included in
• A potentiometer for sensitivity control is integrated
• LM393 voltage comparator chip with TCRT5000L infrared sensor probe on board
• Indicator lamp light output signal can be directly and single-chip microcomputer IO connection & middot; onboard signal output instructions provide a very effective signal at the same time
• More circuits can be reserved by adjusting the sensitivity of the signal detection (P3 voltage drawn)
• Making use of the infrared reflection sensor TCRT5000
• Digital switch output (0 and 1) is the output format
• A convenient installation with a set bolt hole
