Why Choose the Triple IR Line Tracking Sensor?
The Triple IR Line Tracking Sensor is a versatile module designed for STEM education, robotics clubs, and maker projects. Its three reflective IR channels allow students and hobbyists to explore line-following algorithms, path correction, and autonomous navigation principles hands-on.
Each channel’s adjustable threshold and status indicator simplify tuning for different surfaces and lighting conditions, while its standard 5-pin interface makes integration with Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, and similar development boards quick and easy.
Quick Wiring
VCC → 3.3 V or 5 V (depending on controller)
GND → Ground
D1, D2, D3 → Any digital GPIOs (read HIGH/LOW for line detection)
Tip: For best results, mount the sensor close to the surface (a few millimeters), shield it from direct sunlight, and adjust each trim-pot while positioned over both the line and the background.
