Description
TCRT5000 sensor works with the general infrared sensor, like a sense of a TCRT5000 has an infrared emission tube and an infrared receiver tube. When the infrared emission tube by the receiver to receive the reflected tube, the receiver tube resistance will change, The circuit is generally reflected in the form of voltage changes, and after the ADC conversion or LM324 circuit shaping and other processed output results. Resistance from the receiver to receive changes in the infrared signal strength is often reflected in the reflective surface The color and the reflector surface of the receiving tube have two or two aspects.
The TCRT5000 has a compact construction where the emitting light source and the detector are arranged in the same direction to sense the presence of an object by using the reflective IR beam from the object. The operating wavelength is 950 mm.
Some of the applications of this sensor are :
- Detection of reflective material such as paper, IBM cards, magnetic tapes etc.
- Position sensor for shaft encoder
- Sensor for Line Follower Robots
- Limit switch for mechanical motions in VCR and alike
