Infra Red Tracker Sensor

This is an infra red tracker sensor, it can detect when an object is close, it returns an analog value.

The range of the return value is 0-1023, a higher value means the object is closer to the sensor.

Specifications

• Voltage: 3.3V~5V

• Type: Analog Module

• Interface: 3Pin Dupont Cable

• Detection Distance: 10-60mm

Wiring Diagram

This is an analog module, it can only use P0-P2.(Remove the buzzer jumper when P0 is in use.)

Connect the sensor to Robotbit’s pin and 3V pin.

Adjust Sensitivity

The sensor’s sensitivity can be adjusted via this potentialmeter. Use a screwdriver to turn.(Turn left to increase, turn right to decrease)
