It operates on the principle of \u003cstrong\u003einfrared reflectance\u003c\/strong\u003e: the onboard LEDs emit IR light, and the phototransistors measure how much is bounced back. Since black surfaces absorb IR light and white surfaces reflect it, the module can provide a digital signal to a microcontroller to indicate the robot's position relative to a path.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-R646dRLqEooVhrxn7eWlOONpgXc\"\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-QlSudCOIboOmmFxt7v4l2WyxgAf\"\u003eWith \u003cstrong\u003ethree channels\u003c\/strong\u003e (Left, Center, Right), it provides enough data for smooth proportional steering. If the center sensor is \"on the line\" while the left and right are not, the robot moves straight. If a side sensor detects the line, the robot knows exactly which way to turn to correct its course.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-D1ZfdupNGoZIfLxhk25lAgdMgGg\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-D1ZfdupNGoZIfLxhk25lAgdMgGg\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFeatures:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-VFHXdKAtbowO35x1rGwl8P0mgAh\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTriple Sensor Design:\u003c\/strong\u003e Provides higher reliability than single-channel sensors, allowing for path correction and edge detection.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Cn9vdZTANoexXpxrhRYl8rMwgfh\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTCRT5000 Technology:\u003c\/strong\u003e Utilizes high-sensitivity reflective sensors with built-in filters to minimize interference from ambient visible light.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-CoIZdGnMPoSPTNxs4fxld4lOgbc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOnboard Signal Conditioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e Features an LM393 voltage comparator for clean, stable digital logic outputs.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-PGQfdtqmAowi4exIwKvlPxQZghe\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eVisual Feedback:\u003c\/strong\u003e Includes 3 status LEDs that light up when a line is detected, making calibration and debugging significantly easier.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Ef7CdG7g9oAzyYxovrgl4hiegbe\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eAdjustable Sensitivity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Most variants include an onboard potentiometer to fine-tune the detection distance and threshold for different floor types.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-F1JpdGr6Bok8QyxtLcUl240QgZe\"\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"heading-2 ace-line old-record-id-F1JpdGr6Bok8QyxtLcUl240QgZe\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecifications:\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-ZlxAdIwQHofAb3xTfLFln7Mogoc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSensor Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3× TCRT5000 Infrared Reflective Sensors\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-SyvKdH3KnoJLYLxPWyAlVZN2gzh\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Voltage:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.3V to 5.5V DC\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-SzHIdMe99oxCnMxrTQTlBZeVgqf\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOperating Current: \u003c\/strong\u003e∼30mA−60mA\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-Uf8mdz6suoqhtYxZORhll7X7ghh\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDetection Distance:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1mm to 25mm\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-WIlSdmJnlo9HMTxmm0ol7ji7g0e\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Digital (High\/Low)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-VQEVdnjc6ooWwExAc4Wljw8Igwr\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOutput Logic:\u003c\/strong\u003e Low on Black \/ High on White\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-M49HdvVIJovbz3xeNHNlSwGtgKh\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComparator IC:\u003c\/strong\u003e LM393 or LM339\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"ace-line ace-line old-record-id-O6pediC8JoPNyrxqRXPlrOZRgCc\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eInterface: \u003c\/strong\u003e5-pin Header (VCC, GND, L, C, R)\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Makerlab Electronics","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44433224990911,"sku":"MLE07358","price":99.0,"currency_code":"PHP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0531\/3419\/6927\/files\/MLE07358.jpg?v=1769392906","url":"https:\/\/makerlab.ph\/products\/makerlab-3-channel-tracking-module","provider":"Makerlab PH","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
