Description
Long Description:
An IR (Infrared) sensor is a versatile electronic component that operates by detecting infrared radiation, which is a form of light not visible to the human eye. It typically consists of an IR transmitter (emits infrared light) and an IR receiver (detects the light). When an object comes into the range of the emitted infrared beam, it reflects the light back to the receiver, allowing the sensor to detect the presence or proximity of the object.
IR sensors are widely used in various applications such as motion detection, obstacle avoidance in robots, line-following robots, proximity sensors, and even in consumer devices like TVs for remote control operations. Some IR sensors are designed for more advanced purposes like temperature sensing or distance measurement, utilizing the emitted heat from objects. They are available in both digital (on/off detection) and analog (measuring varying distances) forms, making them adaptable to a variety of projects.
