5 Way IR Line Tracking / Following TCRT5000 Sensor Module

5 Way IR Line Tracking / Following TCRT5000 Sensor Module (TCRT5000L) is a high-precision 5-channel infrared tracking module. Perfect for Arduino, AVR, ARM, and PIC projects, it is commonly used to build smart line-following cars and grid-navigating robots. The module uses infrared emitting diodes that emit rays continuously, which are reflected by objects and detected by infrared receivers. Analogue output values indicate object distance and color, allowing precise line tracking.
