The TCRT5000 reflectance sensors array is intended as a line sensor, but it can be used as a general-purpose proximity or reflectance sensor. The module is a convenient carrier for eight IR emitter and receiver (phototransistor) pairs evenly spaced at intervals.
Each phototransistor is connected to a pull-up resistor to form a voltage divider that produces an analog voltage output between 0 V and VIN (which is typically 5 V) as a function of the reflected IR. The lower output voltage is an indication of greater reflection.
Features
Potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity of the individual sensors.
The module is a convenient carrier for six IR emitter and receiver pairs evenly paced.
Uses 6 sensors for best resolution
Great useful in building fast line following and grid navigating robots
Comes with easy to use digital outputs that can be connected directly to microcontrollers
The array has mounting holes of 3mm diameter for easy mounting
