Features:

Infrared Emitter and Receiver: Uses an IR LED to emit infrared light and a photodiode or phototransistor to detect reflected light from obstacles.

Detection Range: Capable of detecting objects at a range typically between a few centimeters to several meters, depending on the specific module and application.

Wide Field of View: Provides a broad detection area to cover a wide path, ensuring comprehensive obstacle detection.

Adjustable Sensitivity: Allows tuning of the sensor sensitivity to adjust the detection range and response to different obstacle sizes and distances.

Fast Response Time: Offers quick detection and response, making it suitable for high-speed applications.

Digital Output: Provides a straightforward high/low signal indicating the presence or absence of an obstacle.

Analog Output (Optional): Some modules offer an analog output proportional to the distance of the detected object, providing more detailed information.

Compact and Lightweight: Designed to be easily integrated into various systems without adding significant bulk or weight.

Low Power Consumption: Efficient design ensures minimal power usage, important for battery-operated systems.

Environmental Adaptability: Often equipped with features to minimize interference from ambient light and other environmental factors.
