Confirm the module pinout and operating voltage before connecting it to a controller. This module is intended for short-range object detection and is not a calibrated distance sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat does this sensor detect?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt detects nearby objects by transmitting infrared light and sensing the reflected signal.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan I use it with Arduino or ESP32?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. Connect the digital output to a compatible input pin and ensure the supply and logic levels match the controller.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan the detection distance be adjusted?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eYes. The onboard potentiometer adjusts the detection threshold.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eDoes it measure the exact distance?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. It provides an obstacle-detected signal rather than a calibrated distance measurement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhy does a dark object detect poorly?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eDark or matte surfaces may reflect less infrared light, reducing the effective detection range.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCan sunlight affect it?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrong sunlight or other infrared sources can reduce reliability. Reposition or shield the sensor when necessary.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is included?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eOne IR obstacle avoidance sensor module is included.
