Description

Infrared Obstacle Avoidance IR Sensor Module (Active Low) has a pair of infrared transmitting and receiving tubes. When the transmitted light waves are reflected back, the reflected IR waves will be received by the receiver tube. The onboard comparator circuitry does the processing and the green indicator LED comes to life.

The module features a 3 wire interface with Vcc, GND, and an OUTPUT pin on its tail. It works fine with 3.3 to 5V levels. Upon hindrance/reflectance, the output pin gives out a digital signal (a low-level signal). The onboard preset helps to fine-tune the range of operation, the effective distance range is 2cm to 30cm.

Features:

Easy to assemble and use
Onboard detection indication
The effective distance range of 2cm to 30cm
A preset knob to fine-tune distance range
If there is an obstacle, the indicator lights on the circuit board.

Package Includes :

1 x Infrared Obstacle Avoidance IR Sensor Module (Active Low)

Code Comments:

This advanced method uses an Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) so the Arduino doesn't have to constantly poll the sensor in the main loop.

Project Notes:

This project demonstrates two methods for interfacing an IR Obstacle Avoidance sensor with an Arduino Uno: standard digital polling and hardware interrupts.
