IR Obstacle Sensor

Product overview

Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Modules are commonly used in robotics and automation projects to detect obstacles in the path of a robot or any moving object. These modules are based on infrared (IR) sensors and are widely used for obstacle avoidance, line following, and other proximity sensing applications. Here's an overview of the Infrared Obstacle Avoidance IR Sensor Module:

Working Principle :

• The module typically consists of an infrared transmitter (IR LED) and an infrared receiver (photodiode or phototransistor).
• The IR LED emits infrared light, and if there is no obstacle in front of the sensor, the emitted light is not reflected back to the receiver.
• When an obstacle is present, the infrared light is reflected back to the receiver, and the module detects the reflection.

Key Features :

• Infrared LED: Emits infrared light.
• Infrared Receiver: Detects reflected infrared light.
• Potentiometer: Adjusts the sensitivity or detection range.
• Digital Output: Provides a digital signal indicating the presence or absence of an obstacle.
