Quick Overview

• High-Quality Tracker Sensor
• The module is a convenient carrier for eight IR emitter and receiver pairs evenly paced.
• Distance between each IR Sensor: 15mm
• Uses 5 sensors for best resolution
• Great useful in building fast line following and grid navigating robots
• Comes with easy to use digital outputs with a direct connection to microcontrollers
• The array has mounting holes of 3mm diameter for easy mounting

Product Description

        TCRT5000L 5 Channel Tracking Sensor Tracking Module Infrared Sensor is based on the TRCT5000 infrared reflection sensor, it is often used to make tracking smart cars. The infrared emitting diode of the TRCT5000 sensor continuously emits infrared rays. 

When the emitted infrared rays are reflected by the object, they are received by the infrared receiver and output analogue values. The output analogue value is related to the object distance and the colour of the object. The position of the tracking line is judged by calculating the analogue value of the five outputs.
