About this item

The Digilent Pmod LS1 is a versatile infrared light detector module designed for embedded systems and robotics applications. It allows users to interface with up to four reflective or transmissive photo detectors, such as the popular combination of an IR LED and an IR sensor used in line-following robots. The module features onboard sensitivity adjustment, enabling fine-tuning of the detection threshold to suit various environmental conditions. With a compact PCB size of 1.4" × 0.8" (3.6 cm × 2.0 cm), it is suitable for integration into space-constrained designs. The Pmod LS1 utilizes a 6-pin Pmod connector with a GPIO interface, following the Digilent Pmod Interface Specification Type 1, ensuring compatibility with a wide range of Digilent system boards. This module is ideal for applications requiring proximity sensing, object detection, or ambient light measurement, providing a reliable and flexible solution for developers and engineers. Its small form factor and ease of integration make it a valuable component in various projects, from hobbyist robotics to more advanced embedded system designs.
