ITR9608 Sensor Photo Arduino Raspberry Pi Electronic Project DIY

This is a great little device - definitely worth having in your box of bits & pieces. It can be used as an optical limit switch for 3D printers. Another use could be a physical door open/close switch with a small rod/bar to activate the switch (by breaking the switches optical link). It's a high quality, well made device - 100% recommended - no issues. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! AAA+++

This is a photo sensor that counts pulses of light through a rotating perforated disk. I got it for coin-op machine, and I'm hoping that the disk supplied can be replaced with a larger one; but I haven't tried yet. As supplied it worked right out the box. There's documentation online at the website above and examples for Arduino and Raspberry Pi. Great stuff!

This is a very well made and compact sensor with many potential uses. It records the interruptions of an IR sensor which makes it ideal for detecting movements such as fan rotations or motor rotations. The sensor has an excellent response time but the support is not as good on the manufacturers wiki as it is for their other products. The example code only comes with binary detection and not with full code for measuring rotation speed.

Nice to have a preassembled board in a good storage packaging which can be integrated into hobby solutions. Definitely a great investment/ present for your Geek.

this is a very simple photo sensor that works with arduino, it return 0 when the sensor is blocked, else return 1 to the input gpio pin no instruction included with the sensor kit, but there is a wiki url in the product page, that contains a sample arduino code, easy to understand and ready to use, my whole setup and coding (copy) all completed in just 5 minutes there is a little encoder disk included in the sensor kit, i used it in a test project, which measures the rpm of my electric screwdriver the photo sensor worked as expected, seems it matched the speed change and the maximum rpm measured was very close to the official specification i’m very satisfied with the product and would recommend it! hope you find these information helpful

easy to install sensor for further projects with the pi, not sure what i am going to use this for yet but with the pi there are always plenty of projects to do, nicely packaged and connections are easy to access

This is a neat little photo sensor that will detect breaks in between the two sensors. The item comes in a nice little box with "Sensor" written on the top. At least it will be easier to write a better description on the label than try to write on the anti-static bag it is packaged with inside. Most items don't get a box or label so I'm constantly peering through the tinted plastic to see what's inside. The board is much better made than some I'v had. All SMD's look well soldered. They flying leads come terminated with female connectors for Arduino/Raspberry Pi devices, and there's even a Velcro strap around them. The board has an LED for power, and another for the signal. Operation is easy, and they even supply a URL for the datasheet. The sensors have a 4.8mm gap. The supplied wheel has a diameter of 25.7mm, with the inner shaft hole 3.5mm x 5mm. You can see it's slightly rounded at the ends to fit most flattened spindles. It has 20 holes. Overall a quality sensor that functions perfectly.

My son loves doing little projects. He has a Micro bit processor. It is a great addition to his little box of trick with all the cables and part to build up with the Microbit..

Well put together. I appreciate the plastic case that it comes with to protect it. It has an LED to show power and another for signal. Operation is easy, and there is a URL for the data sheet too. Overall, very pleased!

Il s’agit d’un photo capteur infrarouge (940 nm) de type ITR-9608 assemblé sur un petit circuit imprimé avec deux trous de fixation de 3 mm espacés de 21 mm. L'espace entre la photodiode et la led infrarouge est de 5mm. Le fait d'utiliser une longueur d'onde dans l'infrarouge rend ce capteur moins sensible aux nuisances lumineuses environnantes ; l'assemblage de la photodiode et de la led IR dans un châssis plastique garantit leur bon positionnement et alignement. Pour l'utiliser il suffit de l'alimenter en 5 volts (fil noir masse et rouge +5 volt) ; la sortie du capteur est disponible sur le fil vert. Généralement on s'en sert pour mesurer (et/ou réguler) la vitesse d'un moteur en utilisant une roue avec des trous régulièrement espacés en rotation le photo capteur sera donc régulièrement occulté et délivrera des impulsions (voir le chronogramme joint). La led rouge présente sur la PCB indique la présence de l'alimentation et la led verte indique si la photodiode est occultée ou non. Les gaines des fils sont très souples. Le capteur est livré avec une roue telle que décrite plus haut.

Si tratta di una board per un sensore ottico della pzsmocn. La scheda è perfettamente compatibile con qualsiasi piattaforma di sviluppo, come Arduino e Raspberry. L'articolo viene fornito in un piccolo astuccio in plastica trasparente, al cui interno troviamo, ben sigillato in una bustina antistatica, il sensore. Viene fornito un comodo cavo per il collegamento tra la board del sensore e un eventuale millefori e/o scheda di sviluppo, assieme ad un anello a raggi, per testare il funzionamento del dispositivo. Il sensore in questione è un ITR9608, costituito da un diodo led a infrarossi e un fototransistor posizionati fianco a fianco sullo stesso asse ottico in un alloggiamento termoplastico nero. Il principio di funzionamento è banale: il fototransistor riceve il segnale luminoso dal led, nel caso di situazione normale. Quando un oggetto attraversa in sensore, interrompe il segnale luminoso. La finitura della scheda PCB è buona, nessuna nota sulle saldature, sulle piste o altro. Il cavo è lungo 21 cm, sufficienti per rendere gestibile qualsiasi test. Trovo poche applicazioni concrete per questa tipologia di sensori, ne esistono di altri con caratteristiche sicuramente migliori, ma questo in particolare nasce sicuramente con obiettivi didattici, prestandosi molto bene per la sua semplicità di utilizzo. Consigliato.

Der Sensor wird in einer kleinen Pappschachtel als Umverpackung und darin einem kleinen Plastikkästchen geliefert. Das Öffnen gestaltet sich etwas hakelig, da man erst auf den zweiten Blick sieht, dass die gesamte Plastikschachtel rundum mit durchsichtigem Klebeband verschlossen ist. Enthalten ist darin der Sensor auf einer kleinen Platine mit bereits angestecktem Verbindungskabel, sowie ein kleines Rädchen mit 20 Löchern zum Aufsetzen auf z.B. eine Motorwelle. Ausgepackt sieht der Sensor ausgesprochen gut verarbeitet aus, alles ist gerade befestigt, die Lötstellen sind sauber und die Platine ist gratlos beschnitten. Zur Befestigung sind zwei ca. 3mm große Löcher in der Platine. Der Stecker des Anschlußkabels ist verdrehsicher und gegen Rausrutschen gesichert. Allerdings war es in meinen Augen keine gute Idee, die andere Seite der Anschlusskabel als female-Buchsen auszulegen, da das Stecken so ausgesprochen Breadboard- und Arduino-unfreundlich ist. Andererseits benötigt man oft ohnehin eine Verlängerung für das ca 20cm lange Kabel, so dass man die Anschlüsse wieder anpassen kann. Ich hab den Sensor mit einem kleinen Elektromotor und einem ESP32 getestet, wobei die Erfassung per Interrupt erfolgte. Mit dem beigefügten Lochrad ist die Erfassung von mehr als 6000 U/min problemlos möglich. Nimmt man statt der beigefügten Scheibe eine Scheibe mit nur einer oder wenigen Unterbrechung auf dem Umfang geht die Genauigkeit zwar etwas zurück, dafür sind aber sehr hohe Umdrehungszahlen möglich. Fazit: Ein Sensor, der tut was er soll, gut verarbeitet ist und komplett mit Kabel und Unterbrechungsrad geliefert wird.

Funciona muy bien. Totalmente compatible con mi Raspberry. Recomendable
