The KY-032 38 kHz IR Obstacle Avoidance Sensor Module is designed to help robots and other devices detect and avoid obstacles. The module uses infrared (IR) technology and operates at a frequency of 38 kHz, allowing it to detect objects in its path. The sensor works by emitting infrared light and detecting the reflection from nearby objects. This module is commonly used in robotics for obstacle avoidance, line following, and navigation applications.
- Obstacle Avoidance: Detects objects in the path of the sensor, allowing robots to change direction or avoid collisions.
- 38 kHz Frequency: Operates at 38 kHz, a common frequency for IR sensors, ensuring compatibility with many microcontrollers and platforms.
- Simple Integration: Easy to integrate into robotics projects, especially those that require basic obstacle detection and avoidance.
