This IR reflective sensor utilizes a TCRT5000 to detect color and distance. It emits IR and then detects if it receives the echo. This sensor is often used in line following robots, auto data logging on utility meters, because this module can sense if a surface is white or black.
The measuring distance range from 1mm to 8mm, and the focal point is about 2.5mm. There is also an on-board potentiometer to adjust the sensitivity.
The infrared diode will emit the infrared continuously when the module is powered on, when the emitted infrared light has not been reflected or the strength is not big enough,the module stays in OFF state, and D0 output logic stays HIGH and LED stays OFF.
I had used a lots of LoRa module till now, but it's really the best among all of them! the 1262 is a great upgrade in terms of output power and configuration. we can configure the output power, bandwidth, spreading factor and a tons of other things, which are not possible to configure on previous modules. the radiolib library works preety good with it and it also supports rssi and snr like features, which are very crucial when you are seriously researching on antenna or range related works! that's why I eventually like this module more then ebyte LoRas. To me this is the best module in IN8 68MHz, which is completly legal and free to use in India upto 1W! And also thanks to thinkrobotics, I got it in just 1 working day, and your packaging was also too good! Love your service, and keep this modules available on your websight. Your pricing of this module is too good, and I'll buy many of these modules. Thank you!

Team is suppotive and solves all the queries .
The product is good and will surely help me in my project...looking forward for more trades with think robotics.
