Circuit Documentation

Summary of the Circuit

The circuit consists of an Arduino UNO microcontroller board interfaced with an infrared (IR) sensor. The Arduino UNO is responsible for controlling the IR sensor and processing its output. The IR sensor is used to detect infrared light, which is often employed in proximity sensing, line-following robots, and object detection systems.

Component List

Arduino UNO

  • Description: A microcontroller board based on the ATmega328P.
  • Pins Used:
    • 5V: Provides power to the IR sensor.
    • GND: Common ground for the circuit.
    • D2: Receives the output signal from the IR sensor.

IR Sensor

  • Description: A sensor that detects infrared light.
  • Pins Used:
    • out: Outputs the detection signal to the Arduino.
    • gnd: Ground connection.
    • vcc: Power supply input.
