TCRT5000 line tracker module with ESP32
Supply 3.3-5 V
Bus GPIO
Pins and ESP32 wiring
| Pin | Role | ESP32 pin | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| VCC | Power | 3V3 | |
| GND | Ground | GND | |
| DO | Output (the part drives it) | D25 | Changes level over a black line (threshold set with the trimmer) |
| AO | Analog output | D34 | Reflection strength. To an ADC pin (prefer ADC1: GPIO 32 to 39) |
Suggested wiring for the 30-pin ESP32 DevKit, avoiding flash, input-only and strapping pins. BoardPilot checks it for you as you wire.
Starter code (Arduino)
void setup() { Serial.begin(115200); }
void loop() {
int mv = analogReadMilliVolts(34); // AO on GPIO 34
Serial.println(mv);
delay(200);
}
