Description :
The TCRT5000 IR reflex tracking sensor module is a small electronic device used for detecting the presence or absence of reflective surfaces. This module consists of an infrared emitter LED and a phototransistor. It emits infrared light and detects any reflected light from a nearby object, and the phototransistor converts this reflected light into a voltage signal. The output signal depends on the distance between the sensor and the object and the reflectivity of the surface.
This sensor can be used for detecting the position of objects and to track lines on the surface. It is commonly used in line following robots, obstacle detection systems, and automatic door openers. The module is compact and easy to integrate into any electronic system. It is highly responsive and can detect objects within a range of a few millimeters to a few centimeters. The module operates efficiently with a low supply voltage, making it ideal for battery-powered projects.
