SPECIFICATIONS

Avoidance Sensor Module

The IR Obstacle Avoidance Sensor works by sending infrared light when the infrared light is reflected and received by the receiver your autonomous vehicle will stop. The sensor has a potentiometer which can be adjusted to change the detection distance.

WORKING

Welcome to the Arduino Based project which consists of Servo Motor and Obstacle Avoidance Module. The basic working principle of Obstacle avoidance module is being described here. This Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor returns a signal when it detects an object in range. The range of the sensor is around 2-40 cm is distance. It operates at 3.5 to 5V around 20 milliamps. Infrared obstacle avoidance sensor is designed to detect obstacles or the difference in reflective services. One application is to help a wheeled robot avoid obstacles with a sensor to react to adjustable distance settings. This device has an infrared transmitter and receiver that forms the sensor pair. The transmitter LED emits a certain frequency of infrared, which the receiver LED will detect. The receiving LED will detect some of the signal back and will trigger the digital on/off “signal” pin when a specific threshold “distance” has been detected. This way we can also control the movement of various robotic parts attached with the circuit.

Most boards will have 2 potentiometers, one of which is to adjust how sensitive the sensor is. You can use it to adjust the distance from the object at which the sensor detects it. Typically, the other potentiometer, which changes the transmitter IR frequency is not adjusted.
