IR Proximity Sensor Module

The IR Proximity Sensor Module is an infrared-based sensor used to detect nearby objects without physical contact. It consists of an IR LED transmitter and an IR receiver, which work together to detect reflected infrared light. The module features adjustable sensitivity and is widely used in Arduino, ESP32, ESP8266, Raspberry Pi, robotics, and automation projects.
