Robot Master Distance Sensor

The infrared distance sensor measures the distance to objects and detects obstacles using infrared radiation. The sensor has two small “eyes” that transmit and receive infrared signals

Recommendations for use:

1. The loop is made of silicone material, so avoid pulling, squeezing, or interacting with blocks or gears, which may cause damage to the wires.
2. To disconnect the connector, use a special tool (starter), do not pull on the wires to prevent damage.

The principle of operation of an infrared distance sensor is based on the emission of infrared light and the analysis of the reflected signal. This is how it works:

1. Signal transmission: One of the sensor elements, usually an LED, emits infrared light in the direction of the object.
2. Reflection of the signal: The light bounces off the surface of the object and returns to the sensor.
3. Receiving the signal: The second element of the sensor, the photodetector, picks up the reflected signal and measures its intensity or angle of return.
4. Data processing: Built-in electronics analyse the data. Depending on the signal transit time, return angle or light intensity, the distance to the object is calculated.
