Output is an active LOW and has an onboard status LED. It’s very easy to interface directly with Arduino or other micro-controllers. It also works with the Raspberry Pi with a voltage range of 3-6 volts. Connect Vcc to 3-volts!\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe enable pin “EN” will disable the device when HI (Vcc) and enable it when LO (GND). The onboard jumper can be left open to allow external control of enable\/disable of the module. I see no use for this function and would leave the jumper on and the pin disconnected. There are two potentiometers on the module one controlling operating frequency (centred at 38 kHz) and the other controlling intensity. The detector was designed for 38 kHz and the onboard oscillator circuit is based on a 555 timer. Tweaking gives a little better range but I’d suggest leaving it alone because the useful range is narrow. It worked well as is. The maximum reliable range in my test was around 30-40 cm and depended on the type of material. A smooth white surface worked far better than a black or rough surface.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_info\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sing--sub-heading\"\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"p_info\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"pro-ds\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eItem Type: Sensor\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eModel Type: Sensor Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Current: More than 20mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOperating Temperature (°C): -10 to 50 centigrade degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDistance Measure (cm): 2 – 40cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIO Interface: 4 line (- \/ + \/ S \/ EN)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOutput Signal: TTL Level\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEffective Angle: 35 degree\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (g): 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDimensions (L x W x H) mm: 41 x 16.7 x 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_info\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sing--sub-heading\"\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"p_info\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"pro-ds\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInfrared detection using IR reflection\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAdjustable sensing range from 2 – 40 cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFast and accurate response time\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTTL output for easy integration with microcontrollers\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLow power consumption with efficient performance\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWide detection angle of 35 degrees\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompact and lightweight design for easy installation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIdeal for robotics, automation, and security systems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_info\"\u003e\n\u003ch2 class=\"sing--sub-heading\"\u003e\u003cspan style=\"font-size: 18.72px;\"\u003e Applications:\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eObstacle Avoidance:\u003c\/strong\u003e In robotics, these modules are often used in obstacle avoidance systems to help robots navigate and avoid collisions with objects.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLine Following:\u003c\/strong\u003e In line-following robots, these modules can detect lines on the ground or track and help the robot stay on the desired path.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eObject Detection:\u003c\/strong\u003e They can be used for general-purpose object detection in various automation and control applications.\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_info\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sing--sub-heading\"\u003ePhysical Attribute\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"p_info\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"pro-ds ls-n\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eL x W x H (mm) : 41 x 16.7 x 11\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWeight (gm): 3\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"product_info\"\u003e\n\u003ch3 class=\"sing--sub-heading\"\u003ePackage Includes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cdiv id=\"p_info\"\u003e\n\u003cul class=\"pro-ds\"\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1 x Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"KitsGuru","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43279393652988,"sku":"KG995","price":79.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0587\/2130\/4757\/files\/InfraredObstacleAvoidanceSensorModule.jpg?v=1741165523","url":"https:\/\/kitsguru.com\/de\/products\/infrared-obstacle-avoidance-sensor-module","provider":"KitsGuru","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
