OSEPP Ir Detector

welcome to the future [Music] welcome to the MUX all open Internet of Things video blog I am your host Michael crane in today's video we're going to take a close look at our $10 Oh SEP IRA Tector to see how it works and how it's designed in a following video we'll see if we can take the Oh set design and make it better and hopefully cheaper but before we get started let's review what an IR detector is and what they're used for all right an IR detector uses an infrared light source and an infrared light sensor to trigger an event in the first configuration the light source is pointed directly at the sensor in this configuration the sensor is always detecting the IR light unless something moves between the source and the sensor to break the light beam in the second configuration the light source and sensor are perpendicular to each other in this configuration the sensor cannot detect the
