Used in Proteus simulation LOW indicates normal conditions, HIGH simulates the presence of an obstacle. Output pin goes HIGH when an obstacle is detected and remains LOW in normal conditions. The sensor’s single-chip configuration enhances simplicity and ease of integration into projects.Īdaptable to various applications, from robotics to automation, due to its versatile functionality.ĭesigned for seamless integration with Proteus software, facilitating realistic simulations.įuture tutorials will guide users on interfacing the sensor with popular Microcontrollers like Arduino and PIC.īenefits of Infrared Sensor Infrared Sensor Pin Configuration Pin The integrated design allows for effective detection of obstacles in front of the sensor. Offering the capability to detect multiple sources simultaneously, suitable for advanced applications. Perfect for close-range object detection, often used in touchless interfaces. Suitable for applications requiring detection over extended distances, such as security systems. Integrated Transmitter and Receiver on a Single Chipĭesigned for efficient obstacle detection, ideal for robotics and automation projects.

Separate Transmitter and Receiver ModulesĬommonly used for light interruption detection in various applications. This innovation allows the IR signal to transmit, bounce back upon encountering an obstacle, and be received by the IR sensor. This library, however, integrates both components on a single chip. Some modules feature separate transmitter and receiver chips, triggered by light interruptions (See the below table for this).

Before we proceed, let’s briefly understand the types of Infrared Sensors available in the market.
