Digit Function
1 GND-Pin; Sensor ground connection
2 + Pin; Power supply 3 - 5 V DC
3 Out Pin; Signal output
4 EN pin; (active high) Can be used for manual transmission of an IR
signal, EN jumper must be removed for this.
5 Potentiometer for adjusting the IR transmitter
6 Potentiometer for adjusting the receiver sensitivity
7 EN jumper; Jumper plugged in → IR signal is sent permanently;
Jumper not plugged in → IR signal is controlled by EN pin
8 Status LED
9 Power LED
10 IR receiver
11 IR transmitter

3. USAGE WITH A RASPBERRY PI

i This guide was written under Raspberry Pi OS Bookworm for the

Raspberry Pi 4 and 5. It has not been checked with newer opera-
ting systems or hardware.

1. Connection

KY-032 Raspberry Pi

GND Ground
(Pin 6)
V+ 3.3V
(Pin 1)
Signal GPIO24
(Pin 18)
-
Enable Pin Jumper is
plugged

# Required modules are imported and set up
import time
from gpiozero import DigitalInputDevice

# Here the input pin is declared

sensor = DigitalInputDevice(24, pull_up=True)

# Pause (in seconds)

delayTime = 0.5
print("Sensor Test [press CTRL+C to end the test]")

# Main program loop

try:
while True:
if sensor.value:
print("Obstacle detected")
else:
print("No obstacle")
print("-------------------------------------")

# Reset + Delay
time.sleep(delayTime)

# Cleanup after the program has ended

except KeyboardInterrupt:
pass

This code reads the current status of the sensor and indicates in the
console whether there is an obstacle or not.
The sensor has two potentiometers with which the sensitivity of the
receiver and the transmitter can be adjusted.

You can download and unzip the file with the following commands:

wget https://joy-it.net/files/files/Produkte/SEN-KY032/SEN-KY032IR_RPI.zip

unzip SEN-KY032IR_RPI.zip

Now you can execute the file with the following command:

python3 SEN-KY032IR_RPI.py

 2. Code example
This code reads the current status of the sensor and displays in the
console whether an obstacle is present or not. If the sensor detects an
obstacle, another LED (Sled) lights up.

int Sensor = 10; // Declaration of the sensor input pin

void setup (){

Serial.begin(9600); // Initialization serial output
pinMode (Sensor, INPUT) ; // Initialization of sensor pin
}

// The program reads the current status of the sensor pin and
// displays in the serial console whether an obstacle is currently detected
// or if there is no obstacle in front of the sensor
void loop (){
// The current signal at the sensor is read out
bool val = digitalRead (Sensor) ;

// If a signal could be detected, the LED is switched on.

if (val == HIGH){
Serial.println("No obstacle");
}
else {
Serial.println("Obstacle detected");
}
Serial.println("------------------------------------");
delay(500); // Pause between the measurement of 500ms
}

In this code example, the received data is issued on the serial

Monitor. Make sure that the baud rate is set correctly (9600).
Also make sure that you have set the right board and port in your Arduino
IDE before uploading.
You can also download the code example here.
The sensor has two potentiometers with which the sensitivity of the
receiver as well as the transmitter can be adjusted.
