IR Proximity / Obstacle Detecting Sensor Module

Detect obstacles and measure distances in your robotics projects with this IR Proximity/Obstacle Detecting Sensor Module, featuring an IR transmitter, IR receiver, and LM393 comparator with an adjustable threshold potentiometer. It’s a versatile tool for identifying changes in surroundings.

When ambient light brightness falls below the set threshold, the digital output switches high; above the threshold, it switches low, enabling reliable obstacle detection in autonomous robots and cars. Its built-in ambient light sensor and adjustable range make it well-suited for positional feedback, industrial safety systems, and wheel encoder applications.

• 5VDC operating voltage – Compatible with standard microcontroller boards
• 3.3V and 5V I/O compliant – Flexible integration options
• Built-in ambient light sensor – Adjusts to surrounding conditions
• 20mA supply current – Low power consumption
• Adjustable range detection – Onboard potentiometer for fine-tuning
• LED indicators – Visual status feedback
• Great for robotics – Ideal for obstacle avoidance and safety systems

Add reliable obstacle detection to your robot with this IR Proximity Sensor Module – adjustable, responsive, and easy to integrate.
