Before you buy
The EV3 Infrared Sensor is a crucial component for LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 robotics. This sensor allows your robots to interact with their environment by detecting infrared light, enabling functionalities like remote control, obstacle avoidance, and line following. It's a fundamental building block for creating responsive and intelligent robots.
This set is perfect for educators, hobbyists, and students interested in robotics and programming. Integrating the infrared sensor into your EV3 projects opens up a wide range of possibilities for creating interactive and autonomous robots. It is easy to integrate and program within the EV3 environment.
Skip this if you are not using the LEGO MINDSTORMS EV3 system. The infrared sensor is specifically designed for the EV3 platform and won't be compatible with other LEGO systems or robotics platforms. Consider other sensor options if you're working with a different system.
The digital EV3 Infrared Seeking Sensor detects proximity to the robot and reads signals emitted by the EV3 Infrared Beacon. Students can create remotely-controlled robots, navigate obstacle courses and learn how infrared technology is used in TV remotes, surveillance systems and even in target acquisition equipment.• Proximity measurement of approximately 50-70 cm• Working distance from the beacon of up to two meters• Supports four signal channels• Receives IR remote commands• Auto-IDis built into the EV3 software
