DESCRIPTION
This module is ideally suited to obstacle detection, typically seen in project robots. Sensitivity adjustment and reduced susceptibility to interference makes this module an ideal candidate for any obstacle avoidance robot.
Working within a low 3 - 5V input range the module will output LOW on detecting an object and HIGH while not detecting. Furthermore a mounting hole ensures you have some method of mounting the unit to the robot.
IR (Infrared) is in a portion of the electromagnetic spectrum that is invisible to the naked eye. As such testing this module can be troublesome. A nice little trick to help; take a digital camera or smartphone camera and point the camera at the LED while it is lit. You will find most digital cameras show a gentle purple glow from the LED when it is lit.
Please do not hesitate to contact us if you require further information regarding the module's operation.
