Obstacle Detector: Name Roll No Name Roll No Name Roll No Name Roll No

This document describes the components, circuit diagram, and working of an obstacle detector. The obstacle detector uses an infrared (IR) LED and photodiode pair, along with an LM358 operational amplifier configured as a voltage comparator. When an object is detected, the IR light reflected off the object causes the photodiode voltage to drop, increasing the voltage across a resistor. If this voltage becomes higher than the voltage at the inverting input of the comparator, its output switches high to indicate an obstacle has been detected. The obstacle detector can be used for applications like industrial safety devices and wheel encoders.

Introduction
This is an infrared based sensor which can be used for obstacle sensing,
color detection (between basic contrasting colors line sensing, encoder
sensor, IR remote signal sensing, etc and also for wireless infrared
communication. The sensor provides high immunity from ambient light
and can be used in all light conditions quite effectively.

Components

 IR pair (IR LED and Photodiode)


 IC LM358
 Resistor 10k, 1k.
 7805 voltage regulator
 LED
 buzzer

Circuit diagram

Working

You can see the connections in the IR sensor circuit diagram. Photo
diode is connected in reverse bias, inverting end of LM358 (PIN 2) is
connected to the variable resistor, to adjust the sensitivity of the
sensor. And non-inverting end (PIN 3) is connected to the junction of
photodiode and a resistor.

When we turn ON the circuit there is no IR radiation towards


photodiode and the Output of the comparator is LOW. When we
take some object (not black) in front of IR pair, then IR emitted by IR
LED is reflected by the object and absorbed by the photodiode. Now
when reflected IR Falls on Photodiode, the voltage across
photodiode drops, and the voltage across series resistor R2
increases. When the voltage at Resistor R2 (which is connected to
the non-inverting end of comparator) gets higher than the voltage at
inverting end, then the output becomes HIGH and LED turns ON.
Voltage at inverting end, which is also called Threshold Voltage, can
be set by rotating the variable resistor’s knob. Higher the voltage at
inverting end (-), less sensitive the sensor and Lower the voltage at
inverting end (-), more sensitive the sensor.

IR LED and a Photodiode

IR sensor basically consist an IR LED and a Photodiode, this pair is


generally called IR pair or Photo coupler. IR sensor work on the
principal in which IR LED emits IR radiation and Photodiode sense that
IR radiation. Photodiode resistance changes according to the amount of
IR radiation falling on it, hence the voltage drop across it also changes
and by using the voltage comparator (like LM358) we can sense the
voltage change and generate the output accordingly.

And in Indirect Incidence, both the IR LED and Photo diode are placed
in parallel (side by side), facing both in same direction. In that fashion,
when a object is kept in front of IR pair, the IR light gets reflected by the
object and gets absorbed by photodiode. Note that object shouldn’t be
black as it will absorb all the IR light, instead of reflect. Generally IR pair
is placed in this fashion in IR sensor Module.
LM358

LM358 is an operational amplifier (Op-Amp) and in this circuit we are


using it as a voltage comparator. The LM358 has two independent
voltage comparators inside it, which can be powered by single PIN, so
we can use the single IC to build two IR sensor modules. We have used
only one comparator here, which have inputs at PIN 2 & 3 and output
at PIN 1. Voltage comparator has two inputs; one is inverting input and
second is non-inverting input (PIN 2 and 3 in LM358). When voltage at
non-inverting input (+) is higher than the voltage at inverting input (-),
then the output of comparator (PIN 1) is high. And if the voltage of
inverting input (-) is Higher than non-inverting end (+), then output is
LOW.
