IR Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module IR Sensor Module

IR infrared obstacle avoidance sensor module consists of a pair of infrared transmitting and receiving tubes. A transmitted tube reflects the light. When transmitted light waves are reflected back, there is the receiver at the other end. The reflected IR waves will be received by the receiver tube. Then the onboard circuitry does the processing. There is a green indicator LED comes to life. This IR module has three wire interfaces. These are VCC, GND, and Output. This module works on 3.3 to 5V. When the signal reflects, the output pin gives out a digital signal. The onboard preset helps to fine-tune the range of operation. Its effective distance range is 2cm to 8cm.IR obstacle Sensor Arduino code is really easy and easily available. You can get this IR module at epro.pk. IR Obstacle Detection Sensor is also named as IR Hurdle Detector Sensor.

IR Sensor Specifications:
