TCRT5000 Line-Tracing Sensor Module
This module integrates three TCRT5000 infrared sensors to detect contrast lines for small mobile robots. It provides digital outputs that a microcontroller can read directly for autonomous path following.
Low-Power Infrared Detection
Each TCRT5000 pair draws only a few milliamps, so the board adds negligible load to a robot's power budget. The sensors run cool and silent, producing no audible noise or measurable heat during continuous line-tracking operation.

Questions about this item
How do I install the TCRT5000 3 Road Tracing Sensor module on my robot chassis?
Mount the module so its three TCRT5000 emitters face the surface; wire VCC to 5 V, GND to ground, and each signal pin to a separate microcontroller input. The step often missed is calibrating the potentiometer per sensor until the indicator LED toggles cleanly over the line.
What maintenance will the TCRT5000 3 Road Tracing Sensor require over time?
Dust on the IR emitters and receivers degrades line detection. Clean the optical windows periodically with a soft brush or compressed air; avoid solvents. If a TCRT5000 element fails, desolder and replace that individual component on the module.
