The TCRT5000 Line Tracking Sensor Module is a compact infrared reflective sensor designed for accurate black and white surface detection. Ideal for line follower robots, edge detection, and robotics projects, it works with Arduino, ESP32, and other microcontrollers, featuring adjustable sensitivity and stable digital output for reliable performance.

TCRT5000 Line Tracking Sensor Module

The TCRT5000 Line Tracking Sensor Module is a compact and reliable infrared reflective sensor designed for detecting black and white surfaces. It is widely used in line follower robots, edge detection systems, and surface color detection projects. The module integrates an IR LED and phototransistor, making it easy to interface with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and other microcontrollers.

This sensor works by emitting infrared light and measuring the reflected signal. White surfaces reflect more IR light, while black surfaces absorb it—allowing precise line detection for robotics and automation projects.

Key Features

  • Sensor IC: TCRT5000 Infrared Reflective Sensor

  • Operating Voltage: 3.3V – 5V DC

  • Output Type: Digital (TTL)

  • Onboard Comparator: LM393 for stable threshold detection

  • Adjustable Sensitivity: Onboard potentiometer

  • Detection Distance: ~1–10 mm (optimal for line tracking)

  • Status LED: Visual indication of detection

  • Compact & Lightweight: Ideal for small robots

Applications / Projects

  • Line follower robots (single or multi-sensor arrays)

  • Obstacle and edge detection

  • Black/white surface detection

  • Speed line counters

  • Robotics competitions & STEM projects

  • DIY automation and smart vehicles

How It Works

  • The IR LED emits infrared light onto the surface.

  • White surface → more reflection → sensor output changes

  • Black surface → less reflection → sensor output changes

  • The onboard comparator converts this into a clean digital signal for your controller.

Compatibility

  • Arduino Uno / Nano / Mega

  • ESP32 / ESP8266

  • Raspberry Pi (via GPIO with proper logic)

  • Other 3.3V / 5V microcontrollers
