Description
An IR LED shines forward and a photodiode watches for the reflection. When something comes close, the on-board LM393 comparator pulls the output LOW and lights an indicator LED – no calculations needed in your code.
Features
- Detection distance adjustable with the on-board trimpot, about 2–30 cm
- Digital output (LOW = obstacle detected)
- LM393 comparator for a clean, stable signal
- 3.3–5 V supply, power and output LEDs
- 3 pins: VCC, GND, OUT
Good to know
Dark or black surfaces reflect less infrared, so the range is shorter on them. Strong sunlight can cause false triggers – it works best indoors.

1 × IR obstacle sensor module
