Click to Try This Simulation

In this simulation, students explore how an IR Sensor detects nearby objects using infrared light. They can connect the sensor to a power supply and an LED module, then observe how the LED responds when an object is placed in front of the sensor. This activity introduces the fundamentals of obstacle detection and demonstrates how IR sensors are used in robotics and automation.
