5-Channel Infrared Line Tracking Sensor Module
A 5-channel tracking sensor module is an array of infrared (IR) reflective sensors used to detect lines or edges on surfaces. It is commonly used in line-following robots to detect black/white contrasts (such as a black line on a white background). The 5-Channel Line Tracking Infrared Sensor Module detects black and white surfaces using infrared reflectance, enabling precise line following for robots and automation systems. Each channel uses an IR LED and a phototransistor to sense reflected light — less reflection from black (absorbs IR) and more from white (reflects IR).

Detailed Description:
The 5-Channel IR Line Tracking Sensor Module is an advanced infrared reflectance sensor array used in robotics for detecting track lines on surfaces. It features five IR transmitter-receiver pairs aligned in a row, allowing it to detect black (low reflectance) and white (high reflectance) surfaces with high precision.
Each sensor channel outputs a digital HIGH/LOW signal depending on whether it detects a line beneath it. The module can be directly interfaced with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, STM32, and other microcontrollers for building line-following robots, maze solvers, or automated guided vehicles (AGVs).
