ZX-IrEYE : Multi-direction infrared detector documentation 1

ZX-IrEYE (Infrared Eye) Multi-direction infrared detector Features :  Used for infrared light detection  Supply voltage +5V  There are 2 outputs : Range and Direction  Output is DC voltage 0 to +5V.  Includes 2 of JST3AA-8 sensor cables.

Operation : Figure 1 shows the ZX-irEYE layout. It is used for infrared light detection.

There are 2 outputs.

1. Range : It gives 0 to +5V forward the infrared light density detection. The output goes high level when this sensor is near infrared light source and decrease when sensor is far from infrared source.

2. Direction : It gives 0 to +5V direct variation the detected angle of infrared light 0 to 180 degree.

5 of Photo-transistor for infrared detector

Range : reports the distance from the infrared source such as IR ball.

Direction : reports direction of the infrared source such as IR ball.
