This is an amazing Arduino digital infrared distance sensor. It offers an adjustable detection range from 0cm to 200cm. It's compact, user - friendly, easy to assemble, and budget - friendly. Ideal for robotics, interactive media, and industrial assembly lines. The infrared wavelength is part of the Sun's natural light spectrum, so it's great for indoor projects, but not recommended outdoors in bright sunlight with reflective surfaces. It's highly versatile and can be used in various projects. The adjustable screw on its back makes it super convenient for different applications. Just get a digital read on your Arduino pin and you're good to go. It's a top - notch sensor for quick prototyping. Use it on a robot for wall detection and as a wall follower, or as a trigger system in other projects. Its round shape with screw holders is perfect for a home - made assembled robot. You can place it aiming at different positions on a robot through a hole of its diameter and the holders. You can even put it near your PC to control your monitor's on/off. To simplify its use, a Gravity Interface is added for plug - and - play. The IO expansion shield is the perfect match when connecting this sensor to your Arduino.

Using this sensor is a breeze. First, connect it to your Arduino using the XH2.54 - 3Pin interface. Then, adjust the detection range with the screw on its back according to your needs. Get a digital read on your Arduino pin, and you're ready to use it in your project. For example, if you're building a robot, you can use it for wall detection or as a wall follower. You can also place it near your PC to control your monitor. Here are some things to keep in mind. This sensor works best indoors because sunlight and reflective surfaces outdoors can interfere with its performance. The operating voltage should be between 3 and 5V, and make sure the temperature and humidity are within the specified ranges (- 15 - 60 ℃ for operation and 35% - 95% RH). When it comes to maintenance, keep it clean and dry. If you're not using it for a while, store it at a temperature between - 25 and 75 ℃. With these simple steps, you can make the most of this sensor.
