The IR (Infrared) Sensor is a compact electronic device designed to detect and measure infrared radiation. It consists of an IR transmitter and an IR receiver, which work together to emit and detect infrared light. The sensor is commonly used for proximity sensing, object detection, and remote control applications. It provides a non-contact method of sensing and is capable of detecting objects based on their reflection or emission of infrared radiation, making it useful in various automation and electronics projects.

Usage
- Power Supply: Connect the VCC pin of the sensor to the 5V pin of the microcontroller or power supply.
- Ground: Connect the GND pin of the sensor to the ground (GND) pin of the microcontroller or power supply.
- Output Connection: Connect the OUT pin of the sensor to a digital input pin of the microcontroller for digital output or to an analog input pin for analog output.
- Signal Conditioning (if required): Depending on the sensor output type and the microcontroller's input requirements, you may need to use additional components such as pull-up or pull-down resistors, voltage dividers, or operational amplifiers to condition the sensor signal.
- Coding: Write the microcontroller code to read the sensor output and perform the desired actions based on the detected infrared signals.
- Testing: Use appropriate infrared sources or objects to test the sensor's functionality and observe the output readings or trigger actions based on the detected infrared signals.
