Arduino Self-Driving Car Lesson 6: Using the Infrared Sensors

The video tutorial explains how to use an infrared sensor with Arduino. It covers the sensor's components, including the infrared LED and phototransistor, and how they work together to detect objects and surfaces. The tutorial provides detailed instructions on connecting the sensor to an Arduino using jumper wires and a breadboard. It also includes a step-by-step guide to writing Arduino code to control an LED based on sensor input. Practical applications, such as line-following robots and autonomous cars, are discussed, along with challenges like maintaining sensor distance and detecting different surface colors.
