Infrared Obstacle Avoidance IR Sensor Module
Description
The Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module detects nearby objects using reflected infrared light.
It uses an IR transmitter–receiver pair with an LM393 comparator to provide a digital active LOW output when an obstacle is detected.
Ideal for robotics, smart cars, automation systems, and Arduino-based proximity detection projects.
