Keyestudio 3-channel Line Tracking Module


Description

In the smart car DIY process, we often use a line tracking sensor to make the smart car follow a line.
The keyestudio 3-channel line tracking module actually is an infrared sensor. The component used is a TCRT5000 infrared tube.
The working principle is to use the different reflectivity of infrared light to color, converting the strength of the reflected signal into a current signal.
During the detection, black is active at HIGH level, and white is active at LOW. The detection height is 0-3 cm.
We have integrated three groups of TCRT5000 infrared tubes on a single board, convenient for wiring and control.
Turn the adjustable trimpot to adjust the module’s sensitivity.
The module comes with two 3mm positioning holes for mounting on other devices.
Note: before testing, turn the potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity. The sensitivity is the best when make the LED at the threshold point between ON and OFF.

Test Code

int sensor1 = 2;
int sensor2 = 3; 
int sensor3 = 4; 
int val1; 
int val2; 
int val3; 
void setup() 
{
  Serial.begin(9600);
  pinMode(sensor1, INPUT); // set sensor to input mode
  pinMode(sensor2, INPUT); // set sensor to input mode
  pinMode(sensor2, INPUT); // set sensor to input mode
}

void loop() 
{
  val1=digitalRead(sensor1);
  Serial.print("val1:");
  Serial.print(val1);
  val2=digitalRead(sensor2);
  Serial.print("  val2:");
  Serial.print(val2);
  val3=digitalRead(sensor3);
  Serial.print("  val3:");
  Serial.println(val3);
  delay(200);
}


Test Result

Done uploading the code to control board, open the serial monitor and set the baud rate to 9600.
When the tacking module detects black line, output 1; detecting white line, output 0. As figure shown below.
