| Need |
Good first choice |
Notes |
| Basic obstacle detection |
IR Obstacle Sensor Module |
Simple digital output; great for small robots and beginners. |
| Line-following robot |
IR Tracking Array (3–8 sensors) |
More sensors = smoother turns and fewer “lost line” moments. |
| Remote-controlled Arduino |
IR Remote + Receiver Kit |
Use IRremote library to decode signals and map to actions. |
| Flame/IR light detection |
IR Flame Sensor |
Detects IR signature of flame; used in fire-sensing robots. |
| Reflective object sensing |

FAQ
Are IR sensors affected by sunlight?
Yes. Sunlight contains strong infrared, which can interfere. Shielding or using indoor environments improves reliability.
Are line-tracking sensors analog or digital?
Both exist. Most simple modules use digital outputs, while arrays often provide analog values for PID line following.
Can I use IR modules with ESP32?
Yes—IR obstacle sensors, IR receivers, and tracking arrays work with ESP32’s 3.3V logic (check module voltage).
How far can IR obstacle sensors detect?
Typically 2–30 cm depending on reflectivity, module sensitivity, and ambient light.
Do you ship IR modules nationwide?
Yes—Circuitrocks ships anywhere in the Philippines with fast handling for in-stock items.
