Infrared Tracking Sensor HS-S04B

Infrared Tracking Sensor HS-S04B

1. Introduction


The infrared transmitter and receiver of the tracking sensor are greatly interfered by the ambient light, generally speaking, the closer to the reflective surface, the better the effect.Operating voltage: 3.3๏ฝž5V.Check the reaction distance: 1-20mm.

10, Test results

Arduino UNO test results:

The tracking sensor uses the working characteristics of infrared light, infrared light is reflected when it meets a white background, the receiving tube receives the reflected light, and after being shaped by an inverter (Schmitt trigger), it outputs a low level (0); the serial port prints "beise". When infrared light meets a black line, it is absorbed, and the receiving tube does not receive the reflected light, after being shaped by an inverter (Schmitt trigger), it outputs a high level (1), and the serial port prints "heise".
