IR Sensor Interfacing With Arduino
Arduino
What is the Arduino Uno used for? Arduino is an open-source
electronics platform based on easy-to-use hardware and software.
Arduino boards are able to read inputs - light on a sensor, a finger
on a button, or a Twitter message - and turn it
IR Sensor
What is an infrared sensor? An infrared sensor is an
electronic device, that emits in order to sense some aspects
of the surroundings. An IR sensor can measure the heat of
an object as well as detects the motion. These types of
sensors measures only infrared radiation, rather than
emitting it that is called as a passive IR sensor.
IR sensors are highly susceptible to ambient light and the IR sensor on this sensor is suitably covered to reduce effect of
ambient light on the sensor. T For maximum, range the on board potentiometer should be used to calibrate the sensor. To
set the potentiometer, use a screw driver and turn the potentiometer till the output LED just turns off.
Features
• Can be used for obstacle sensing, color detection(between basic
contrasting colors), fire detection, line sensing, etc and also as an
encoder sensor
• Input Voltage: 5V DC
• Comes with an easy to use digital output
• Can be used for wireless communication and sensing IR remote
signals
• Sensor comes with ambient light protection
• The sensor a hole of 3mm diameter for easy mounting.
