Modern Robotics IR Locator 360 Infrared Sensor

• Modern Robotics IR Locator 360 Infrared Sensor
• Four IR detectors facing forward, back, left, and right
• Calculates the direction of the IR Light source
• Can be set to read 1200 or 600Hz IR Light
• Sensor Type: Four Wire I2C Sensor

The Modern Robotics IR Locator 360 Infrared Sensor has four IR detectors facing forward, back, left, and right. The IR intensity received by each of these sensors allows the onboard processor (or PIC) to calculate the direction of the IR Light source to within 5 degrees. The IR Locator can be set to read 1200 or 600Hz IR Light.

The heading value is returned in 5-degree increments from 0 to 71. If an object were to circle the sensor in a clockwise direction, the value of degrees will increase. If the object were to circle in a counterclockwise direction, the value of the heading will decrease.
