ALLNET 4duino Infrared Distance Sensor (ALL-4duini-Infra-Abstand)

The ALLNET 4duino Infrared Distance Sensor (ALL-4duini-Infra-Abstand) is a compact and reliable analog distance sensor designed for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32/ESP8266, and other microcontroller platforms. It uses reflective infrared technology to detect objects within a range of 2 cm to 80 cm, outputting an analog voltage proportional to the distance. This sensor is ideal for robotics, object detection, and obstacle avoidance applications.

Advantages

Easy to integrate with any microcontroller via a standard 3-pin header (VCC, GND, Signal). The onboard potentiometer allows for sensitivity adjustment, making it versatile for different environments. Low power consumption (<20 mA) and a compact form factor (32 x 14 x 7 mm) enable seamless integration into space-constrained projects.
