This blog will guide you on interfacing HW-201 IR proximity sensor with ARIES v3.0 boards. Here, an AC remote is used as the IR source and sensor(HW-201) as the IR receiver.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IR source<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

An IR (infrared) sensor is an electronic component that detects and measures the infrared radiation ( IR signals are not observable by the human eye)  in its environment. When a human, object, or anything comes closer to the sensor, the IR from the LED reflects off of the object and is detected by the receiver..<\/p>\n\n\n\n

We can use any device which can radiate infrared. Other way we can say any thing having temperature radiates infrared. Like surface of the earth, Sun, human body, optical fibers, thermal imaging cameras, electric heaters, remote control, etc all these will emit infrared waves that is not visible to our naked eyes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

IR receiver<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Receiver will receive infrared waves and sense it. This receiver module act as sensor which will help us to get the IR codes in a proper format. HW-201 is an IR detection module consists of an infrared transmitter, an infrared detector and its circuit but in this case I am using only infrared detector and remove the infrared transmitter from the module.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
