Keyword:

       INHAOS , Arduino , Smart Car , UGV , MassDuino , IR-5000

l  Introduce

IR-5000 is a reflective photoelectric sensor module, the core port is a TCRT5000 sensor. The TCRT5000(L) has a compact construction where the emitting-light source and the detector are arranged in the same direction to sense the presence of an object by using the reflective IR beam from the object. The operating wavelength is 950 mm. The detector consists of a phototransistor. The following is a description IR works.

The light emitting diodes constantly emits infrared light, when the emitted infrared not being reflected back or reflected back but the strength is not big enough, the phototransistor has been in the off state, the output end of the module is low. When the object to be detected is the presence within the detection range, and intensity of the reflected infrared rays are sufficiently large, the phototransistor is saturated, the output of the module is high. Then we can identify the high or low of output through the microcontroller, and do some relevant action by program.

   In the master side , the SPI initial code as below:

 SE-8008 supported command as below:

l  IR Sensor Connection

Below figure show the connection between IR sensor and SE-8008, they are connected via 3 wires: TX / RX and GND.

SENSOR_IR_OFF: the TX will set to "0", the IR will turned off , then read RX by 10bit ADC , this is the background IR signal.

SENSOR_IR_ON: the TX will set to "1", the IR will turned ON, then read RX by 10bit ADC , the signal level depend on the distance of obstacles.

SENSOR_IR_DIFF: the difference between SENSOR_IR_OFF and SENSOR_IR_ON. most IR detector use comparator to shaping the signal with a fixed reference level, when we use IR to detect distance of obstacles , the result is very depends on the environment , for the example , some time the unit is working very good in room , but when you turned light or move to sunlit environment, it will occurred unexpected error , because the light or sunshine have very high IR signal , this will change the background level and make the IR detector working failed. In this case , you can read SENSOR_IR_DIFF , this value will significantly reduce the environment changes impact the detection result.

l  Photo interrupter Connection

The SE-8008 include 8-CH of IR detection and 2-CH of Photo interrupter, the IR detection used to detect distance of obstacles and photo interrupter used to detect wheel rotation speed, Below figure show the photo interrupter connection and how it work. 

Difference with the IR detection circuit, the IR is always powered , and the OPT signal will shaping by a comparator, thinking difference application have difference signal level , so adjust the 10K VR to adjust reference level of the comparator.
