This IR sensor can detect obstacles in front of it.  When an object is detected the green indicator light on the board will light up. There is a low-level output signal on the OUT port.
It has a detection range of 2-30 cm at an angle up to 35 degrees.
The detection distance can be changed by using the potentiometer. To increase rotate the dial clockwise.
Connect the OUT pin on the sensor module directly to you IO port.

Connection: VCC-VCC; GND-GND; OUT-IO
Power: 3-5V
Size: 3.1CM * 1.5CM

Package Include:
    1 x Infrared obstacle avoidance module

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

GND
GND is the ground or reference connection (0 V) for a circuit. When connecting two devices together, their grounds must be joined so both agree on what counts as a low or high signal.
potentiometer
A variable resistor usually turned with a knob or shaft to create an adjustable electrical signal. It is often used for inputs such as volume, brightness or position, so it helps beginners learn how a microcontroller reads changing values.
VCC
VCC is the positive power-supply connection on a chip or module. Connecting it to the correct supply voltage is needed for the part to power on and helps avoid damaging the electronics.
