The OBSTACLE-MODULE is a reflective infrared obstacle detector designed for proximity sensing, collision avoidance, and line tracking in robotics and smart-vehicle projects. The module emits infrared light from an onboard emitter and measures the light reflected back from nearby objects by a photodiode receiver. The reflected signal is converted into a clean TTL digital output: the output goes LOW (0) when an obstacle is detected within the set range, and returns HIGH (1) when the path is clear. This active-low behaviour allows the module to be connected directly to the digital input of an Arduino, ESP32, STM32, or any 3.3V/5V microcontroller without additional signal conditioning.

Detection distance is adjustable from approximately 2cm to 30cm using the onboard multi-turn potentiometer. The effective range depends on the colour and reflectivity of the target: white surfaces reflect farthest, while dark or black surfaces reduce the usable distance. The module has an effective detection angle of 35°, giving each sensor a focused forward field of view. A dedicated EN (enable) pin allows the sensor to be switched on or off under logic control: pulling EN to 0 activates the sensor, while 1 disables it, which is useful for power saving or for multiplexing multiple sensors.

The module operates from 3.3V to 5V DC (with a supply range of 3V to 6V per the listing), draws approximately 20mA, and works across a temperature range of -10°C to +50°C. The board measures 50mm × 80mm × 20mm and uses a 4-pin interface (GND, VCC, S, EN). Typical applications include obstacle avoidance in autonomous robots, distance detection for smart cars, black/white line tracking, anti-drop detection, pipeline counting, and liquid-level sensing.
