Introduction
This is a high performance EASY Plug photo interrupter module.
The upright part on the module combines an infrared light emitting diode and shielded infrared detector.
By emitting a beam of infrared light from one end to another end, the sensor can detect an object when it passes through the beam.
Useful for many applications such as optical limit switches, pellet dispensing, general object detection, etc.
This module needs to be used together with EASY plug control board.
Special Note:
The sensor/module is equipped with the RJ11 6P6C interface, compatible with our keyestudio EASY plug Control Board with RJ11 6P6C interface.
If you have the control board of other brands, it is also equipped with the RJ11 6P6C interface but has different internal line sequence, can’t be used compatibly with our sensor/module.
Specification
- Connector: Easy plug
- Supply Voltage: 3.3V to 5V
- Interface: Digital
Technical Details
- Dimensions: 38mm*20mm*18mm
- Weight: 4.8g
Connect It Up
Connect the EASY Plug Photo Interrupter module and LED module to control board using RJ11 cables. Then connect the control board to your PC with a USB cable.
Upload the Code
Below is an example code. Open or drag below code to Mixly Blocks and upload.
What You Should See
Done uploading the code, powered on, if pick up a piece of paper to cover the light on the groove part of module, you should see the LED is turned on. If no interruption, the LED is off.
Extension Experiment
Adding 4-digit LED Display
Hookup Guide
Connect the EASY Plug crash sensor, 4-digit LED display and LED module to control board using RJ11 cables.
Upload the Code
Below is an example code.
What You Should See
Done uploading the code, if pick up a piece of paper to cover the light on the groove part, the LED is turned on. If no interruption, the LED is off.
You should be able to see the number of covering the light is showed on the 4-digit LED display, or on the monitor.
