overview
Arduino infared proximity switch module is a reflection-type photoelectric sensor which integrates transmitting and receiving infared beams function. Infrared proximity switches work by sending out beams of invisible infrared light. A photodetector on the proximity switch detects any reflections of this light. These reflections allow infrared proximity switches to determine whether there is an object nearby.
technical parameters
- Voltage :DC 5V
- Current :100mA
- Type :DC 3 Wire NPN-NO (Normal Open)
- Sensory Distance: 3-80 cm adjustable
- Sensory distance regulator and output indicator light on product back
- Control signal level:
- High:2.3V≤Vin≤5V
- Low:-0.3V≤Vin≤1.5V
Usage
When sensor detect object, output is 0V.
Example code
int ledPin = 13; // choose pin for the LED int inputPin = 2; // choose input pin (for Infrared sensor) int val = 0; // variable for reading the pin status void setup() { pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT); // declare LED as output pinMode(inputPin, INPUT); // declare Infrared sensor as input } void loop(){ val = digitalRead(inputPin); // read input value if (val == HIGH) { // check if the input is HIGH digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW); // turn LED OFF } else { digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // turn LED ON } }
