Description
IR Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module for Arduino & ESP32
The IR Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module is a compact proximity sensor designed to detect nearby objects using reflected infrared light. It features an onboard IR transmitter, IR receiver and LM393 comparator, providing a fast and reliable digital output when an obstacle is detected. The detection distance is adjustable using the onboard potentiometer, typically from 2 cm to 30 cm, depending on the object's surface and environmental conditions.
Compatible with Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi Pico and STM32, this module is widely used in robot cars, obstacle avoidance robots, automation systems, smart devices and educational electronics. Its simple digital interface makes it easy to integrate into beginner and advanced robotics projects.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is this sensor compatible with Arduino?
Yes. It works with Arduino Uno, Nano, Mega and other Arduino-compatible boards using a simple digital GPIO connection.
Can I use it with ESP32?
Yes. The module supports 3.3V logic, making it compatible with ESP32 and ESP8266 development boards.
Can the detection distance be adjusted?
Yes. An onboard potentiometer allows you to adjust the detection range, typically from 2 cm to 30 cm.
Can it measure the exact distance to an object?
No. This module provides a digital detection signal indicating whether an object is within the configured range. It does not measure exact distance like an ultrasonic sensor.
Is it suitable for line-following robots?
It can detect contrast in some applications, but dedicated IR line tracking sensors are generally recommended for accurate line-following robots.
