Introducing the KY032 Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module, an intelligent and versatile device designed to detect obstacles and enable obstacle avoidance in a variety of applications. This sensor module utilizes infrared technology to provide reliable and accurate proximity sensing, making it an essential component for robotics, automation, and interactive projects.
The KY032 Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module employs infrared emission and reflection principles to detect objects in its path. It consists of an infrared transmitter and receiver pair that work together to emit and receive infrared signals. When an obstacle is present, the emitted infrared signal is reflected back to the receiver, indicating the presence of an object.
