TCRT5000 IR Sensor Array Guide


Can you help me build a 5 channel ir sensor array using tcrt5000
No project changes were made. Building the 5-channel TCRT5000 array still requires defining the sensor spacing, analog-vs-digital outputs, supply voltage, connector pinout, and then adding/wiring the circuit and verifying it.
Execution is currently blocked because no ACUs are available. Once ACUs are restored, I can implement the complete array in the schematic.
I couldn’t analyze or modify the PCB because the account currently has no available ACUs, so AI layout and routing are unavailable.
Remaining work:
  • Inspect board outline, existing placement, overlaps, and airwires.
  • Determine whether placement optimization, trace routing, or both are required.
  • Run the appropriate auto-layout operations.
  • Verify bounds, antenna/connector constraints, DRC, and remaining airwires before confirming completion.

Route remaining nets
Check final DRC
