Product Description

Features:

Easy to assemble and use
Onboard detection indication
The effective distance range of 2cm to 80cm
A preset knob to fine-tune the distance range
If there is an obstacle, the indicator lights on the circuit board.

How It Works:

IR Emitter: The module has an infrared LED that emits infrared light.
IR Receiver: It also has an IR photodiode or phototransistor that detects the reflected infrared light.
Detection: When an object is close to the sensor, the emitted IR light is reflected back to the receiver. The sensor module processes this signal and outputs a corresponding digital signal.
Output Signal: The module typically provides a digital output, where the signal goes low when an object is detected and stays high when no object is detected.
Adjustable Sensitivity: Many modules include a potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity or detection distance.

Applications:

Robotics: Commonly used in robots for obstacle detection and avoidance.
Automation: Useful in systems where detecting the presence of an object is necessary, such as automatic doors, security systems, and conveyor belts.

Key Features:

Range: Typically, the detection range is adjustable and can vary from a few centimeters to a couple of meters, depending on the module and its configuration.
Power: These modules usually operate at 3.3V or 5V, making them compatible with most microcontrollers like Arduino or Raspberry Pi.
Simple Integration: Easy to connect and use, often with just three pins (VCC, GND, and Output).

This module is widely used in educational projects and DIY electronics due to its simplicity and effectiveness in detecting obstacles.
