Line Tracking Sensor 3 Channel Module

The TCRT5000 Red 3Ch Line Follower Sensor features three channels of infrared sensors that use infrared light to distinguish between dark and light colors, particularly black and white, based on the difference in surface color. It operates on 5V and produces a low output when detecting a black line and a high output when detecting a white line. The sensor is easy to install with its fixed bolt hole and is beneficial for robotics projects, specifically for creating line-follower robots. It emits an infrared beam onto an object and measures the amount of light reflected back to accurately track and follow lines.
