TCRT 5000 Line Follower Sensor

Operating with a 5V DC power supply, the TCRT 5000 sensor is designed for detecting lines using infrared light, offering robust anti-interference capabilities. It has a detection range of approximately 10mm, making it ideal for close-proximity sensing tasks. This sensor is compatible with various development platforms, including Arduino, AVR, ARM, and PIC, ensuring versatility in your projects.

The sensor’s sensitivity can be fine-tuned using an onboard potentiometer, allowing for precise adjustments based on specific needs. It generates an analog voltage output, where a lower voltage corresponds to a higher level of reflected infrared light, providing clear feedback for line-following applications.
