How It Works
The IR transmitter is an infrared LED that emits invisible 940nm light when forward-biased. The IR receiver is a photodiode that conducts current proportionally to the intensity of infrared light hitting its junction. When an object is placed between or in front of the pair, the reflected or interrupted IR beam changes the receiver's output, which can be read by a microcontroller's analog or digital input pin. A simple voltage divider circuit with the photodiode and a pull-up resistor converts the light intensity change into a measurable voltage signal.
Typical Circuit Configuration
- Transmitter Circuit: Connect the IR LED anode to VCC (5V) through a 100Ohm-220Ohm current-limiting resistor; cathode to GND
- Receiver Circuit: Connect the photodiode cathode to VCC and anode to GND through a 10KOhm pull-down resistor; tap the voltage at the junction for analog/digital reading
- With Comparator: Use an LM358 or LM393 comparator IC with a potentiometer for adjustable threshold-based digital output
Project Ideas
- Line-Following Robot: Mount multiple IR pairs facing downward to detect black lines on a white surface for autonomous navigation
- Object Detection & Counting: Create a break-beam sensor to count objects passing through a conveyor belt or doorway
- Obstacle Avoidance Robot: Use reflective IR sensing to detect walls and obstacles for autonomous robot movement
- IR Remote Control Decoder: Pair with a TSOP1738 or use directly to build custom IR remote control systems
- Proximity Sensor Module: Build a DIY proximity sensor for automatic hand dryers, soap dispensers, or touchless
