The TCRT5000 Infrared Reflective Sensor Module is a compact, reliable photoelectric switch used for line tracking, obstacle detection, and object counting in robotics and automation systems.
It uses an infrared emitter and phototransistor pair to detect reflected light from nearby surfaces. The onboard potentiometer allows you to adjust detection sensitivity easily, making it ideal for DIY robots, line followers, and object-sensing projects.
This module is fully compatible with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32, providing both digital and analog outputs for flexible use.
