Five Channel Infrared Line Tracking Sensor Module (5 Channel IR Line Follower Sensor)
The Five Channel Infrared Tracking Sensor Module is a compact optical sensing board designed for accurate multi-point line detection in robotics and automation applications. It integrates five independent infrared emitter and receiver pairs that detect differences in reflected infrared light between dark and light surfaces, enabling precise line following, edge detection, and path tracking. Each sensor provides an individual digital output, while onboard potentiometers allow sensitivity adjustment for different surface conditions. The module is compatible with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, STM32, Raspberry Pi (with appropriate interface), PIC, and other microcontroller platforms.
