The IR Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module is an essential, highly responsive proximity sensor designed for intelligent robot cars and automation projects. Operating on a 3.3V to 5V DC supply, it features a matched pair of infrared components: a clear IR emitting diode that beams out light, and a black photodiode receiver that catches reflections from nearby objects. The board incorporates an LM393 comparator IC to cleanly process incoming analog reflections into a crisp digital signal. Complete with an onboard sensitivity-tuning potentiometer and a 3-pin interface (VCC, GND, OUT), this module is the go-to choice for line-following robots, automated product counters, and close-range collision avoidance barriers.
