IR Obstacle Detector

The InfraRed IR Obstacle Detector is a sensor that uses infrared light to detect obstacles within a range of 2 to 30 cm, providing a low-level output signal when an obstacle is detected. It operates on a voltage of 3-5VDC and features an adjustable potentiometer for changing detection distance. The user guide includes instructions for connecting the sensor to an Arduino and provides a sample code for obstacle detection.

InfraRed IR Obstacle Detector


This Infrared Obstacle Sensor has a pair of infrared transmitting and receiving sensors. The
infrared LED emits Infrared light and when an obstacle appears on the line of infrared light,
it is reflected back by the obstacle which is sensed by the receiver LED.
When the sensor detects an obstacle, the LED indicator lights up, giving a low-level output
signal in the OUT pin. The sensor detects distance of 2~30cm. The sensor has a
potentiometer which can be adjusted to change the detection distance.

SKU: SSR1017

 Output type: Digital (0 and 1).
 Detection Distance: 2~30cm. Potentiometer adjustment.

Pin Function Description


Vcc 3.3 ~ 5Vdc Supply Input.
Gnd Ground.
Out Output low when obstacle is in range.
Power LED Light on when power is applied.
Obstacle LED Light on when obstacle detected.
Distance Adjust Adjust detection distance. CCW decreases distance.
CW increases distance.
IR Emitter Infrared emitter LED.
IR Receiver Infrared receiver that receives signal transmitted by Infrared emitter.

Application with Arduino:


Connect the IR Sensor as below schematic:

Upload the below sketch to Arduino board:
// IR Obstacle Collision Detection Module
// =======================================
int LED = 13; // Use the onboard Uno LED
int isObstaclePin = 7; // This is our input pin
int isObstacle = HIGH; // HIGH MEANS NO OBSTACLE

void setup() {
pinMode(LED, OUTPUT);
pinMode(isObstaclePin, INPUT);
Serial.begin(9600);

void loop() {
isObstacle = digitalRead(isObstaclePin);
if (isObstacle == LOW)
{
Serial.println("OBSTACLE!!, OBSTACLE!!");
digitalWrite(LED, HIGH);
}
else
{
Serial.println("clear");
digitalWrite(LED, LOW);
}
delay(200);
}

Move your hand towards the IR LEDs. As your hands near them, the Output LED on the module and the
LED for pin 13 on your Arduino board will light up. Open your serial monitor and vary the distance of your
hand while viewing the serial monitor. The output should look like the picture below:
