IR Proximity Sensor

The IR Proximity Sensor Module is a compact and reliable infrared-based sensor designed to detect nearby objects without physical contact. It works by emitting infrared light and detecting the reflected signal from an object. This module is widely used in robotics, automation, and embedded projects for obstacle detection and distance sensing.

Easy to use and compatible with most microcontrollers like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and other development boards, this sensor is ideal for both beginners and professionals.
