Infrared Obstacle Avoidance IR Sensor Module

Description:

The IR Obstacle Avoidance Sensor is a reliable and cost-effective solution designed for automation and robotic applications. It uses infrared light to detect objects or obstacles in its path, making it ideal for autonomous systems like line-following robots, DIY robotic projects, and smart car platforms.

The sensor emits an infrared beam from its IR transmitter, and if an object reflects this light back, the IR receiver picks up the signal. The module processes this signal and outputs a digital HIGH or LOW value based on the presence of an obstacle. Its compact size and low power consumption make it easy to integrate into a variety of electronics projects.

Key Features:

✅ Infrared Detection Technology
Uses IR light to detect obstacles within a short range (typically 2–30 cm), ensuring fast and reliable response time.
✅ Adjustable Detection Range
Built-in potentiometer allows you to easily calibrate the detection distance based on your specific application.
✅ Digital Output Signal
Outputs a simple HIGH/LOW signal for quick interface with Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and other microcontrollers.
✅ On-board Indicator LEDs
Features a power LED and obstacle detection indicator LED for easy debugging and status monitoring.
✅ Plug-and-Play Interface
Standard 3-pin (VCC, GND, OUT) header for easy connection to development boards.
✅ Compact and Lightweight
Small footprint (approx. 3 x 1.5 cm) allows for flexible placement in mobile and space-constrained projects.
✅ Low Power Consumption
Operates on 3.3V to 5V DC, drawing minimal current—ideal for battery-powered applications.
