The Grove - Infrared Reflective Sensor is used to detect the presence of an object within a specific range.

Overview

The sensor consists of an IR LED and a photo sensor (phototransistor). The light emitted by the IR LED gets reflected by any object placed in front of the sensor and this reflection is detected by the photo sensor (phototransistor). Any white (or lighter) colored surface reflects more than black (or darker) colored surface.


When the reflected light is detected, it produces Digital HIGH (or Binary 1) output on the Sig pin. The on-board LED indicator will also glow. If no reflection is detected or if the object is too far from the sensor, the output on the SIG pin stays at Digital LOW (Binary 0). The on-board LED indicator will be off as well.

The detectable range of this sensor is 4–16 mm. The module incorporates a Rail-to-Rail Operational Amplifier to amplify the output of phototransistor. There is a potentiometer which can be used to adjust the gain of the amplifier, that is, sensitivity of detection.

Arduino Pro at SPS Italy 2023
Arduino Pro at SPS Italy 2023
May 12, 2023

Mark your calendars: May 23rd-25th we’ll be at SPS Italia, one of the country’s leading fairs for smart, digital, sustainable industry and a great place to find out what’s new in automation worldwide. We expect a lot of buzz around AI for IoT applications – and, of course, we’ll come prepared to give our own, open-source perspective on the AIoT trend.  At Arduino Pro’s booth C012, pavilion 7, our experts will be presenting some of the latest additions to our ever-growing ecosystem, which includes everything companies need to fully embrace digital transformation with professional performance paired with Arduino’s ease of use and open-source philosophy. You can explore our complete digital brochure here, but let us point out some recent highlights. Meet the Arduino Pro ecosystem at SPS Italia 2023 Over the years, Arduino Pro has built quite the presence on the market with SOMs like the Portenta H7 and X8, recently joined by the Portenta C33: a cost-effective, high-performance option that makes automation accessible to more users than ever, based on the RA6M5, an Arm® Cortex®-M33 microcontroller from Renesas.Our Nicla family of ultra-compact boards also expanded: after Nicla Sense ME and Nicla Vision, Nicla Voice packs all the sensors, intelligence and connectivity you need for speech recognition on the edge, leveraging AI and ML. What’s more, the Arduino ecosystem also includes turnkey solutions like the Portenta Machine Control and the new Opta, our very first microPLC, designed in partnership with Finder to support the Arduino programming experience with the main PLC standard languages – and available in 3 variants with different connectivity features: Opta Lite, Opta RS485, and Opta WiFi. Both the Portenta Machine Control and Opta can be programmed via the new PLC IDE, designed to help you boost production and build automation with your own Industry 4.0 control system. Finally, since SPS Italy’s last edition we have
