TCRT5000 Single Channel Line Tracking Sensor Module

The TCRT5000 Single Channel Line Tracking Sensor Module is a reflective infrared sensor used to detect black and white surfaces. It’s perfect for building line-following robots, edge detection systems, or proximity-based automation. The sensor detects changes in surface color by measuring the reflection of infrared light – black absorbs IR and white reflects it.

Compact, affordable, and easy to use with Arduino and other microcontrollers, it’s a must-have for anyone working on smart robotic navigation.

✅ Key Features:

🔍 Detects black/white lines and surfaces

⚙️ High-sensitivity IR transmitter & receiver pair

📏 Adjustable detection threshold via potentiometer

💡 Output LED indicator for detection status

🔌 Easy 3-pin connection to microcontrollers
