3 Channel IR Infrared CTRT5000 Line Detection Module Documentation
Overview
The 3 Channel IR Infrared CTRT5000 Line Detection Module is a popular IoT component used for line detection, obstacle detection, and edge detection applications. This module is equipped with three infrared sensors, which provide accurate and reliable sensing capabilities.
Pin Description
The 3 Channel IR Infrared CTRT5000 Line Detection Module has a total of 7 pins, which are described below:
1. VCC (Power Supply Pin)
Pin Number: 1
Description: This pin is used to supply power to the module. It should be connected to a voltage source between 3.3V to 5V.
Note: Make sure to use a voltage regulator or a voltage stabilizer to ensure a stable power supply.
2. GND (Ground Pin)
Pin Number: 2
Description: This pin is used as a ground reference for the module. It should be connected to the ground of the system or the negative terminal of the power source.
3. OUT1 (Channel 1 Output Pin)
Pin Number: 3
Description: This pin provides the output signal from Channel 1 of the infrared sensor. The output is a digital signal that indicates the presence or absence of an object.
4. OUT2 (Channel 2 Output Pin)
Pin Number: 4
Description: This pin provides the output signal from Channel 2 of the infrared sensor. The output is a digital signal that indicates the presence or absence of an object.
5. OUT3 (Channel 3 Output Pin)
Pin Number: 5
Description: This pin provides the output signal from Channel 3 of the infrared sensor. The output is a digital signal that indicates the presence or absence of an object.
6. EN (Enable Pin)
Pin Number: 6
Description: This pin is used to enable or disable the module. When the EN pin is high (logic level 1), the module is enabled, and when it is low (logic level 0), the module is disabled.
7. NC (No Connection Pin)
Pin Number: 7
Description: This pin is not connected and should be left unused.
