Introduction
Upright part of this sensor is an infrared emitter and on the other side, it’s a shielded infrared detector. By emitting a beam of infrared light from one end to other end, the sensor can detect an object when it passes through the beam. It is used for many applications including optical limit switches, pellet dispensing, general object detection, etc.
Specification
- Supply Voltage: 3.3V to 5V
- Interface: Digital

Sample Code
// photo interrupter module int Led = 13 ;// define LED Interface int buttonpin = 3; // define the photo interrupter sensor interface int val ;// define numeric variables val void setup () { pinMode (Led, OUTPUT) ;// define LED as output interface pinMode (buttonpin, INPUT) ;// define the photo interrupter sensor output interface } void loop () { val = digitalRead (buttonpin) ;// digital interface will be assigned a value of 3 to read val if (val == HIGH) // When the light sensor detects a signal is interrupted, LED flashes { digitalWrite (Led, HIGH); } else { digitalWrite (Led, LOW); } }
