IR DISTANCE SENSOR

📏 IR Distance Sensor Module – Infrared Proximity Detection for Robots & Smart Systems

The IR Distance Sensor Module uses infrared light to detect objects and obstacles within a short range. It’s ideal for line-following robots, object-avoidance systems, automated doors, and smart sensing projects. Compact, efficient, and easy to use! 🤖🚪

🔧 Key Features

🧠 Sensor Type: Infrared (IR) Reflection-Based Distance Sensor
📏 Detection Range: Typically 2 cm – 30 cm (adjustable)
⚡ Operating Voltage: 3.3V – 5V DC
📟 Output Type: Digital (HIGH/LOW)
🔧 Adjustable Sensitivity via onboard potentiometer
💡 Onboard LED Indicators for power and signal
🔌 3-Pin Interface: VCC, GND, OUT

🧰 Package Includes

✅ 1x IR Distance/Proximity Sensor Module
📄 Pinout: VCC, GND, OUT
🧰 Compatible with: Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi, STM32, etc.

🧠 Perfect For

🤖 Obstacle-avoiding robots
🚪 Auto-opening doors or gates
🔁 Object counting systems
📦 Conveyor automation
🎓 STEM kits and sensor learning

🛠️ How It Works

1️⃣ Sensor emits infrared light
2️⃣ Light reflects from nearby object and returns to receiver
3️⃣ Output pin goes LOW when object is detected within range
4️⃣ Trigger buzzers, LEDs, motors, or data logging!

🧠 Pro Tip: Use multiple IR sensors on a robot for 360° obstacle awareness or path tracking! 🚗📡
