TCRT5000 Infrared Reflective Sensor Module
TCRT5000 Infrared Reflective Sensor Module
This IR reflective sensor utilizes a TCRT5000 to detect color and distance. It emits infrared (IR) light and detects the reflected signal. If the reflection is strong enough, the sensor registers it as an object. This module is commonly used in line-following robots and automated data logging for utility meters due to its ability to differentiate between black and white surfaces.
Key Features:
- Utilizes an infrared reflective sensor for object detection.
- Adjustable sensitivity using an onboard potentiometer.
- Digital output with clean signal and good waveform driving ability (>15mA).
- LED indicator for detection status.
- Compact size for easy integration into various projects
