I need help with Adjustable Infrared Sensor Switch

Xavier

Hi,

I'm trying to make a routine for the Adjustable Infrared Sensor Switch for Basic Stamp 2sx I know how to connect it but I don't know how to make it work..

Please if there is someone who could help me, Thanks

From the picture on your 2nd link, this looks like a simple on/off switch. You supply power and a pullup resistor just like with a pushbutton switch. When the sensor "sees" an object, the signal line is connected to ground. You could use the same techniques (code) that you'd use for a pushbutton as shown in the "What's a Microcontroller?" tutorial.

In terms of "how to make it work", there's no other information you've provided. I assume that there's some kind of adjustment on the device to set the trigger range, but you'll have to find more information or experiment.

Thanks Mike,

I'd used the same code that it is used for a pushbutton in the "What's a Microcontroller?" tutorial.
It work. :thumb:

Thanks.
