1-Channel IR Line Tracking Sensor Module TCRT5000

The 1-Channel IR Line Tracking Sensor Module is a high-precision infrared reflective sensor designed for intelligent vehicles, smart cars, and line-following robots. Featuring a high-sensitivity infrared transmitter and receiver pair, this module is optimized for accurate black and white line detection. It serves as an essential navigation probe, allowing your DIY robotic projects to track paths, detect boundaries, and avoid obstacles with high reliability.

Equipped with an onboard 74HC14D Schmitt trigger inverter IC, the module processes raw analog signals into clean, debounced digital outputs (High/Low). This ensures stable performance and eliminates signal jitter when interfacing with microcontrollers. It is fully compatible with popular development platforms including Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and STM32, making it a versatile choice for students, makers, and robotics engineers.

Features:

• High-Sensitivity IR Pair: Utilizes a reliable infrared reflective sensor for precise surface reflectivity detection.
• Schmitt Trigger Integration: Onboard 74HC14D IC provides clean, noise-free digital output signals.
• Wide Voltage Compatibility: Operates efficiently on both 3.3V and 5V power rails.
• Real-Time Feedback: Features an onboard LED indicator that lights up when a line or reflective surface is detected.
• Ultra-Lightweight Design: Weighs only 1.6 grams, minimizing the payload on small mobile robot chassis.
• Easy Interfacing: Standard 3-pin header (VCC, GND, OUT) allows for quick breadboard prototyping and wiring.
