The IR sensor has a 3-pin connector that interfaces it to the outside world.

This sensor is very common in the electronic industry and if you’ve ever tried to design an obstacle avoidance robot or any other proximity detection-based system, chances are you already know about this module, and if you don’t, then follow this article as here we will discuss everything about it. As this is a passive sensor, it can only measure infrared radiation. If the above is not clear, please share your query in the comments.An infrared proximity sensor or IR Sensor is an electronic device that emits infrared lights to sense some aspect of the surroundings and can be employed to detect the motion of an object.

Thats similar to the previous LED connection of my Arduino series. The circuit diagram would look like below: The CW (Clock wise) movement increases the distance proximity and the vice-versa decreases.įormer illuminates when the Power is supplied and the latter when any obstacle comes over.

The voltage supply port, here we have used the 5 V supply port from the board. This port is used to connect to the board's Grounded port. Here, we have the sensor output port on board as 7. This port in the sensor, sends the digital out put to the output unit. As you can see the numbers are mentioned, we will discuss the work around and try understand each and every word. We will see another pictorial representation of the above sensor and discuss about the details of the part. In this article I would be sharing about the IR Obstacle sensor, which as the name suggests detects object or any obstacle coming the sensors way! Lets see how. I will try and use as many as sensors as I can and try integrating them with more sophisticated devices. Temperature monitoring sensors, obstacles detection sensor, soil moisture detection sensors, heart pulse rate sensors and many more. Now a days hundreds of different kinds of sensors are available in the market, we need to try out and explore how we can better user experiences using these electronics. Hey folks! Another interesting topic to discuss and share! Integrating sensors to an Arduino board seems interesting and feels good when you receive the desired digital output and manipulate it.
