Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module

Description

1. Infrared Sensors: The module typically contains one or more IR sensors, such as IR transmitters and IR receivers. IR sensors emit infrared light and measure the reflection or absorption of this light to detect nearby objects.
2. Obstacle Detection: The primary function of the module is to detect the presence of obstacles or objects within its sensing range. It can be used to prevent collisions or trigger actions when an obstacle is detected.
3. Adjustable Sensitivity: Many modules allow you to adjust the sensitivity or detection range, which can be useful for customizing the sensor’s behavior based on the application’s requirements.
4. Digital or Analog Output: Depending on the specific module, it may provide digital or analog output signals to indicate the presence or absence of obstacles. Digital output provides a simple binary result (obstacle detected or not), while analog output can give you more precise distance information.
5. Operating Range: The operating range or detection distance of the sensor may vary depending on the model and the specific IR sensors used. Some modules are designed for short-range detection, while others can detect objects at longer distances.
6. Compact Size: These modules are usually compact in size, making them suitable for integration into various electronic projects and devices.
