Give your robot "vision" with the TCRT5000 Infrared Module. By emitting an IR beam and measuring the reflection, this sensor instantly detects the presence of objects or changes in surface color. It is the go-to component for building autonomous vehicles that need to follow tracks, avoid short-range barriers, or count rapid mechanical movements.
- High-Contrast Detection: Excels at distinguishing differences in reflectivity, such as black tape on white floors, making it the industry standard for line-following robots and automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
- Onboard Sensitivity Trim: Features a precision multi-turn potentiometer that lets you physically calibrate the detection distance (typically 1mm to 25mm) to filter out ambient light interference.
- Dual Signal Output: Offers both a digital (DO) switch for simple on/off triggering and an analog (AO) output for measuring distance gradients, providing flexibility for advanced microcontroller coding.
- Stable Comparator Chip: Built with the reliable LM393 voltage comparator to ensure clean, noise-free logic signals, preventing false triggers during high-speed motor control operations.
- Non-Contact Sensing: Functions effectively as an optical limit switch or paper fax sensor, eliminating the mechanical wear and tear found in physical micro-switches.
- Visual Status Indicator: Includes a built-in LED that lights up immediately when the sensor is triggered, allowing for instant visual troubleshooting without needing a multimeter.
