Ir sensor using Arduino

An IR sensor project with Arduino Uno can be used for obstacle detection, line following, or remote control applications. Here's a simple guide:

Components Needed
- Arduino Uno
- IR Sensor Module (e.g., VL53L0X or simple IR sensor)
- Breadboard and jumper wires
- LED (optional)

Circuit Setup
1. Connect the IR sensor module to the Arduino:
    - VCC to 5V pin
    - GND to GND pin
    - Signal pin to a digital pin (e.g., pin 2)

Code
For simple IR sensor:
const int irPin = 2;

void setup() {
  pinMode(irPin, INPUT);
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int irValue = digitalRead(irPin);
  Serial.println(irValue);
  delay(100);
}
For obstacle detection with LED:
const int irPin = 2;
const int ledPin = 13;

void setup() {
  pinMode(irPin, INPUT);
  pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
  int irValue = digitalRead(irPin);
  if (irValue == LOW) {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH); // Obstacle detected
  } else {
    digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
  }
  delay(100);
}
How it Works
1. The IR sensor detects obstacles or reflects IR signals.
2. The Arduino reads the sensor value and can trigger actions (e.g., turning on an LED).

Applications
- Obstacle detection in robotics
- Line following robots
- Remote control systems

Blink led light using Arduino r3

Here's a simple guide to get you started with a blinking LED project using Arduino: Components Needed - Arduino Board (e.g., Arduino Uno) - LED - Resistor (220-ohm or suitable for your LED) - Breadboard and jumper wires Circuit Setup 1. Connect the LED's anode (long leg) to a digital pin on the Arduino (e.g., pin 13). 2. Connect the LED's cathode (short leg) to one end of the resistor. 3. Connect the other end of the resistor to a GND pin on the Arduino. Code void setup() {   pinMode(13, OUTPUT); // Set pin 13 as output } void loop() {   digitalWrite(13, HIGH); // Turn LED on   delay(1000); // Wait 1 second   digitalWrite(13, LOW); // Turn LED off   delay(1000); // Wait 1 second } How it Works 1. The `setup()` function sets the LED pin as an output. 2. The `loop()` function repeatedly turns the LED on and off with a 1-second delay between each state change. Upload and Enjoy! Upload the code to your Arduino board, and the LED should start blinking! 😊 Do you have...
