Short Description: Equip your autonomous builds with reflexive instincts using this Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Module. Unlike passive sensors, this unit actively emits infrared light to identify barriers in its path, serving as the essential "eyes" that prevent your smart rover from crashing into walls, furniture, or other robots.
Active Proximity Scanning: Utilizes a transmitter-receiver pair to continuously beam IR waves forward, bouncing them off nearby surfaces to trigger immediate reactions in robotics kits.
Adjustable Detection Zone: Features a built-in potentiometer that lets you physically dial in the sensing range (typically 2cm to 30cm), ensuring your bot stops at the perfect distance to avoid a collision.
Direct Digital Logic: Delivers a simple Low-level logic signal (0V) immediately upon detection, allowing for incredibly simple code implementation without complex analog-to-digital conversion on your Arduino Uno.
Universal Chassis Fit: Designed with a convenient central mounting hole, making it effortless to screw onto the front bumpers of 2WD/4WD smart car platforms or walking hexapods.
Rapid Response Latency: Operates with near-zero delay, which is crucial for high-speed vehicles that need to execute emergency stops or sharp turns the moment a barrier is perceived.
Indoor Automation Ready: Beyond robots, this module is perfect for triggering short-range home automation devices, such as automatic touchless trash cans, soap dispensers, or hand dryers.
