Gravity: Digital Adjustable Infrared Proximity Sensor for Arduino (0~200 cm)

151 units available with a short lead time.

Express post shipping available (product has a short lead time)

A digital infrared proximity sensor with adjustable detection range from 0 to 200 cm. Outputs a simple digital signal — HIGH when an obstacle is detected, LOW when clear. The detection threshold is adjustable via a rear-mounted screw, making it easy to tune for different applications.

Features the DFRobot Gravity interface (XH2.54 3-pin) for plug-and-play connection with Arduino and compatible IO expansion shields. Operates on 3–5 V, making it suitable for both 3.3 V and 5 V microcontrollers.
