TSOP OBSTACLE

The TSOP obstacle sensor detects objects using infrared (IR) technology. It consists of an IR transmitter and a TSOP IR receiver module that detects reflected IR signals. When an obstacle is present, the sensor outputs a digital signal, making it ideal for automation and robotics. It is commonly used in obstacle avoidance robots, line-following vehicles, and security systems. The module operates at a fixed IR frequency, reducing interference from ambient light. It works efficiently indoors and in controlled lighting environments. The detection range varies depending on the reflectivity of the object. The sensor is highly reliable for non-contact object detection. It is easy to interface with microcontrollers such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The response time is quick, allowing real-time obstacle detection.
