• 5-Channel Sensor Array: Equipped with five IR sensors for accurate line tracking
• Reflective IR Technology: Detects surface color differences using infrared reflection
• High Sensitivity: Reliable detection of black and white surfaces
• Digital Outputs: Provides 5 separate HIGH/LOW signals for each sensor
• Adjustable Sensitivity: Individual potentiometers for tuning detection range
• LED Indicators: Each sensor has a status LED for detection feedback
• Fast Response: Real-time tracking for smooth robot movement
• Easy Interface: Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, and other controllers
• Mounting Holes: Easy installation on robot chassis
