Infrared sensor

Sensitive infrared sensor with optical detection, ideal for detecting obstacles, movement or changes in surface reflectivity. Thanks to the included converter, you can easily connect it to the micro:bit using dupont cables - no soldering or complicated configuration required.

The sensor responds to objects at a short distance and is suitable for school robotics projects as well as home experiments with programming in MakeCode, Python or JavaScript.
