Interfacing IR Obstacle Sensor with Raspberry Pi 3

 

ЁЯФ╣ Overview

An IR Obstacle Sensor is used to detect obstacles using infrared light. It is commonly used in robots, line-following cars, and automatic doors. In this tutorial, we will connect an IR sensor to Raspberry Pi 3 and detect obstacles.


ЁЯЫа️ Components Required

✔️ Raspberry Pi 3
✔️ IR Obstacle Sensor
✔️ Breadboard & Jumper Wires


ЁЯФМ Circuit Diagram

ЁЯФЧ IR Sensor to Raspberry Pi Connections 

IR Sensor PinConnection
VCC3.3V (Raspberry Pi)
GNDGND
OUTGPIO 17 (Detects obstacle)

ЁЯУЬ Python Code to Read IR Sensor

Save the following Python script as ir_sensor.py and run it on Raspberry Pi.

python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO import time # Define GPIO pin IR_SENSOR_PIN = 17 # Setup GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM) GPIO.setup(IR_SENSOR_PIN, GPIO.IN) try: while True: if GPIO.input(IR_SENSOR_PIN) == 0: print("ЁЯЪз Obstacle Detected!") else: print("✅ No Obstacle.") time.sleep(1) except KeyboardInterrupt: GPIO.cleanup() print("\nProgram stopped.")

ЁЯТб How It Works

  1. The IR sensor emits infrared light and detects if it is reflected back from an obstacle.
  2. If an object is detected, the sensor's output is LOW (0), otherwise, it remains HIGH (1).
  3. The script continuously checks for an obstacle and displays the result on the screen.

ЁЯОп Applications

✅ Obstacle-avoiding robots
✅ Automatic doors
✅ Line-following vehicles

TOUCH PLATE BASED DOOR BELL

Title:  Touch plate based door bell  Circuit:  Components: IC 555 Resistors: 1 M, 100k, 330 ohms Transistor: BC547  PN2222A Capacitor: 10n 1 Copper plate : as touch plate. A 6v battery An LED / Ic UM66 Description: This is the simple circuit for touch plate based security system. In this project what basically done is, circuit detects stray voltages produced by mains voltage and electrostatic built  up in the room.If sufficient static voltage is detected by the plate then chip will charge up. Transistor BC 547 or PN2222A is used basically to increase the sensitivity.In place of led just connect IC um 66(melody IC). Applications: In homes, of course. This can be specially used in places like hospitals, when patients need to call doctor by himself.
