Connection Structure:
To connect the IR Proximity Sensor module to an Arduino board, follow this step-by-step guide:
1. Connect the VCC pin on the sensor module to the 5V pin on your Arduino board.
2. Connect the GND pin on the sensor module to the GND pin on your Arduino board.
3. Connect the OUT pin on the sensor module to any digital input pin on your Arduino board (e.g., D2, D3, D4, etc.).
4. Connect the Vs pin on the sensor module to the VCC pin on your Arduino board.
5. Connect the EN pin on the sensor module to a digital output pin on your Arduino board (e.g., D5, D6, D7, etc.) or tie to VCC or GND for permanent enable/disable.
Example Code:
Here's an example Arduino code snippet to get you started with using the IR Proximity Sensor module:
```cpp
const int sensorPin = 2; // OUT pin connected to digital pin 2
const int enablePin = 5; // EN pin connected to digital pin 5
void setup() {
pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);
pinMode(enablePin, OUTPUT);
digitalWrite(enablePin, HIGH); // Enable the sensor
}
void loop() {
int sensorState = digitalRead(sensorPin);
if (sensorState == HIGH) {
Serial.println("Object detected!");
} else {
Serial.println("No object detected.");
}
delay(100);
}
```
In this example, the sensor is enabled and connected to digital pin 2. The Arduino board reads the sensor state and prints a message to the serial monitor when an object is detected or not detected.

void loop() {
  int sensorValue = analogRead(sensorPin);
  int distance = map(sensorValue, 0, 1023, 20, 0); // Convert analog value to distance (cm)
  Serial.print("Object distance: ");
  Serial.print(distance);
  Serial.println(" cm");

  pinMode(leftMotorBackward, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(rightMotorForward, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(rightMotorBackward, OUTPUT);
  pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);

void loop() {
  int sensorState = digitalRead(sensorPin);
  if (sensorState == HIGH) {
    // Obstacle detected, change direction
    digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, LOW);
    digitalWrite(rightMotorForward, LOW);
    digitalWrite(leftMotorBackward, HIGH);
    digitalWrite(rightMotorBackward, HIGH);
  } else {
    // No obstacle, move forward
    digitalWrite(leftMotorForward, HIGH);
