IR Sensors Module
Overview
IR sensors allow your mouse to detect maze walls using reflected infrared light.
Components
| Part | Example |
|---|---|
| IR Emitter | INL-5AMIR15 |
| IR Receiver | SFH313FA |
| MOSFET Driver | BS170 N-channel |
Operation
- Emitters send IR pulses.
- Light reflects off maze walls and is detected by receivers.
- ADC converts analog voltage into distance readings.
Design Tips
- Place 4 sensors: Left, Front-Left, Front-Right, Right.
- Calibrate readings under your lab lighting.
- Use voltage dividers and pull-down resistors for clean signals.
