TCRT5000 5 Channel Line Tracking Follower IR Obstacle with Bump Sensor Module

The TCRT5000 5 Channel Line Tracking and IR Obstacle Detection Module with an integrated limit switch for bump detection is a comprehensive solution for robotics enthusiasts and developers. Designed for precise black and white line recognition, it uses five individual TCRT5000 IR reflective sensors, allowing for real-time path following, edge detection, and course correction.

This module goes a step further by including a mechanical limit switch that functions as a bump sensor, providing tactile feedback to help the robot recognize physical obstacles — a useful feature in autonomous navigation and obstacle avoidance systems.

Thanks to its modular design and Arduino-compatible digital outputs, the module is extremely easy to integrate into any robotic platform, whether for competition, education, or prototyping. It’s a perfect fit for maze-solving bots, AGVs (Automated Guided Vehicles), and smart pathfinding robots.
