Product Technical Information
Technical Details
The 5IR Array Line Follower Sensor Module is designed for detecting lines and surface contrast in robotics applications. It uses an array of five infrared sensing channels positioned side-by-side, allowing the controller to monitor several points across the robot's path simultaneously.
Each sensing element works by emitting infrared light toward the surface and detecting the reflected light. Light and dark surfaces reflect different amounts of infrared radiation, allowing the sensor array to identify a contrasting track.
The five-channel arrangement is particularly useful for line-following robots because the controller can use the combined sensor readings to determine the approximate position of a line and adjust motor control accordingly.

Important Note
Specifications can vary between manufacturers and board revisions. In particular, output type, detection distance, sensor spacing and sensitivity adjustment may differ between 5-channel IR array versions. Verify the actual module markings and pinout before integration.
Ambient light, surface color, line width, sensor height and mounting angle can also affect detection performance.
