IR Proximity Sensor with SMD UNO Compatible with Arduino
What this module actually is
This is a combo package that includes:
Arduino UNO SMD board (ATmega328P)
IR Proximity Sensor module
So instead of buying separately, you get both together.
Arduino UNO (SMD Version)
Microcontroller: ATmega328P
14 digital pins + 6 analog inputs
Clock: 16 MHz
USB interface (CH340 chip in many versions)
Difference from normal UNO:
Uses SMD (surface-mounted) chip instead of removable DIP
Cheaper but functionally the same
IR Proximity Sensor (included)
Detects objects using infrared reflection
Range: ~2 cm to 30 cmHIGH/LOW)
Comparator IC: LM393
Adjustable sensitivity via potentiometer
How it works
IR LED emits invisible light
Object reflects light
Receiver detects reflection
Output changes Arduino reads it
Output is usually LOW when object detected
Wiring (very simple)
IR Sensor | Arduino UNO |
VCC | 5V |
GND | GND |
OUT | Digital pin (e.g., D2) |
Applications
Obstacle avoiding robot
Smart car
Object detection
Automatic door
Line follower
Imp Affected by sunlight and black objects
Not for accurate distance measurement
Needs adjustment via potentiometer
Why choose this combo?
Pros
Everything in one kit (beginner-friendly)
No need to buy Arduino separately
Plug-and-play learning
Cons
Slightly costlier than buying separately
Less flexibility in choosing components
Final Understanding
This is NOT a special new sensor It's simply:
Arduino UNO (SMD version)
standard IR obstacle sensor
