Description

The IR Line Following Sensor Module TCRT 5000 (Digital) is commonly used in robotics and other automation projects for detecting the presence of a line (usually black or white) on the ground. It's designed to help robots or other devices follow a predefined path or track. The TCRT 5000 sensor is a phototransistor-based device that operates using infrared light, and it can distinguish between different surfaces based on their reflectivity.

Features:

  1. Sensor Type: Digital (On/Off output)
  2. Sensor Model: TCRT 5000
  3. Working Voltage: Typically 3.3V to 5V DC
  4. Output: Digital signal (High or Low) based on surface detection
    • High: No line detected (sensor reflects IR light back from a light-colored surface)
    • Low: Line detected (sensor detects the absence of reflection from a dark-colored surface)
  5. Detection Range: Typically 1 to 3 cm (depending on the surface and conditions)
  6. Mounting: Small size, can be easily integrated into robotic platforms or automated systems
  7. Response Time: Fast enough for real-time tracking in applications such as line-following robots
  8. Current Consumption: Low power consumption

Applications:

  • Line Following Robots: The most common application is in robots that follow a predefined track or line, which can be a black line on a white surface or vice versa.
  • Automated Guided Vehicles (AGVs): These are used in industrial environments for navigation along specific paths.
  • Obstacle Detection: In some cases, the sensors are used for basic proximity sensing or to detect obstacles along a path.
