IR Obstacle Avoidance Sensor with Arduino Uno

Infrared obstacle avoidance sensors



This Infrared Obstacle Avoidance Sensor returns a signal when it detects an object in range. The range of the sensor is around 2-40 cm is distance. It operates at 3.5 to 5 volts at around 20 milliamps. The Obstacle Avoidance Sensors usually come in two types - with 3 and 4 pins. The 3 pin version does not have the ability to be enabled/disabled. The 4 pin version has optional Enable pin. Infrared obstacle avoidance sensor is designed to detect obstacles or the difference in reflective services. One application is to help a wheeled robot avoid obstacles with a sensor to react to adjustable distance settings. This device has an infrared transmitter and receiver, that forms the sensor pair. The transmitter LED emits a certain frequency of infrared, which the receiver LED will detect. The receiving LED will detect some of the signal back and will trigger the digital on/off “signal” pin when a specific threshold “distance” has been detected. Most boards will have 2 potentiometers, one of which is to adjust how sensitive the sensor is. You can use it to adjust the distance from the object at which the sensor detects it. Typically, the other potentiometer, which changes the transmitter IR frequency is not adjusted.
Specifications
  • Working voltage: DC 3.3V-5V
  • Working current: ≥ 20mA
  • Operating temperature: -10 ℃ - +50 ℃
  • detection distance :2-40cm
  • IO Interface: 4-wire interfaces (- / + / S / EN)
  • Output signal: TTL level (low level there is an obstacle, no obstacle high)
  • Adjustment: adjust multi-turn resistance
  • Effective angle: 35 °
  • Size: 28mm × 23mm
  • Weight Size: 9g
Here we use the obstacle avoidance module and a digital interface, built-in 13 LED build a simple circuit, making avoidance warning lamp, the obstacle avoidance Sensor Access Digital 3 interface, when obstacle avoidance sensor senses a signal, LED light, and vice versa off.

  • - 1 * SunFounder Uno board

  •  1 * USB data cable

  • - 1 * Obstacle avoidance sensor module

  • - 1 * 3-Pin anti-reverse cable

Barometric pressure sensor with Arduino

Hardware Required - Arduino or Genuino board - SCP1000 Pressure Sensor Breakout Board - hook-up wires  Procedure  Follow the circuit diagram and make the connections as shown in the image given below. Arduino Code /******* All the resources for this project:   https://lihuo.blogspot.com *******/ The code below starts out by setting the SCP1000 's configuration registers in the setup() . In the main loop, it sets the sensor to read in high resolution mode, meaning that it will return a 19-bit value, for the pressure reading, and 16 bits for the temperature. The actual reading in degrees Celsius is the 16-bit result divided by 20.   Then it reads the temperature's two bytes. Once it's got the temperature, it reads the pressure in two parts. First it reads the highest three bits, then the lower 16 bits. It combines these two into one single long integer by bit shifting the high bits then using a bitwise OR to combine them...

Software Arduino IDE

Arduino is an open source computer hardware and software company, project, and user community that designs and manufactures single-board microcontrollers and microcontroller kits for building digital devices and interactive objects that can sense and control objects in the physical world. A program for Arduino hardware may be written in any programming language with compilers that produce binary machine code for the target processor. Atmel provides a development environment for their 8-bit AVR and 32-bit ARM Cortex-M based microcontrollers: AVR Studio (older) and Atmel Studio (newer). IDE The Arduino integrated development environment (IDE) is a cross-platform application (for Windows, macOS, Linux) that is written in the programming language Java. It originated from the IDE for the languages Processing and Wiring . It includes a code editor with features such as text cutting and pasting, searching and replacing text, automatic indenting, brace matching, and syntax highl...
