KY-033 Infrared Line Following Module
Overview:
The KY-033 Infrared Line Tracking Sensor Module is designed to detect reflective surfaces for line-tracking applications in robotics and automation. It uses an IR transmitter and receiver pair to detect whether a surface in front of the sensor reflects or absorbs infrared light. This module is highly compatible with microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ESP32, making it ideal for building line-following robots or automated systems.

              • Key Features:

                • Infrared Detection: Detects whether a surface reflects (light surface) or absorbs (dark surface) infrared light.

                 

                • Digital Output: Provides a binary signal depending on the surface; HIGH for dark surfaces and LOW for light surfaces.

                 

                • Adjustable Sensitivity: Includes an onboard potentiometer to fine-tune the detection sensitivity.

                 

                • LED Indicator: An onboard LED lights up when a reflective surface is detected.

                 

                • Compact and Lightweight: Designed to fit seamlessly into robotics and automated systems.
