The IR Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module is an essential component for detecting obstacles in robots and automated systems. Using infrared (IR) light, the sensor is capable of sensing objects in its path and providing a signal to help the system avoid collisions. This module is widely used in robotics, autonomous vehicles, and smart systems where obstacle detection is necessary for navigation.
Key Features:
IR Sensor Technology: Uses infrared emitters and detectors to detect the presence of objects in the sensor's line of sight.
Output: Typically provides a digital output (HIGH or LOW) indicating the presence or absence of an obstacle. Some modules may have an analog output as well.
Adjustable Sensitivity: Many modules allow you to adjust the detection range to suit different applications.
Compact and Easy to Interface: Compatible with popular microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, and Raspberry Pi for easy integration.
Power Supply: Typically operates at 5V DC and consumes minimal power.
Applications:
Robot Navigation: Used in line-following robots or autonomous robots to prevent them from running into objects.
Obstacle Detection in smart devices and IoT-based applications.
Automation Projects: For sensing obstacles in automated systems like conveyor belts, drones, and security robots.
Smart Home Systems: To detect objects in areas requiring monitoring or control.
The IR Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module is a must-have for anyone working with robotics or automated systems, offering a simple, reliable solution for obstacle detection and collision avoidance.
