AUTO BOTIX B-3346 IR Based Color Sensor Module

Affordable IR-Based Sensing Technology for Robotics & Electronics Projects

The AUTO BOTIX B-3346 IR Based Color Sensor Module is a compact, economical sensing board designed and manufactured in India for students, hobbyists, electronics developers and robotics enthusiasts.

Unlike conventional RGB color sensors that use specialized color-sensing ICs, this module uses an infrared transmitter and receiver arrangement to detect variations in reflected IR light.

Its simple design makes it suitable for basic reflective sensing, educational color differentiation experiments and DIY electronics projects.

Key Features

• Cost-Effective Design: Affordable option for educational and experimental sensing applications.
• IR-Based Technology: Uses infrared transmission and reflection for surface sensing.
• 5mm IR Components: Equipped with 5mm infrared transmitter and receiver components.
• Compact PCB: Measuring just 30 × 25 mm for integration into small electronic projects.
• 6-Pin Interface: Features P3, P2, VCC, G, P1 and P0 connections.
• Educational Applications: Suitable for robotics, STEM education and engineering experiments.
• Made in India: Manufactured under the AUTO BOTIX brand.

How Does It Work?

The sensor operates using infrared reflection technology.

1. An infrared transmitter emits IR light toward a nearby surface.
2. The surface reflects a portion of the infrared light.
3. The IR receiver detects the reflected light.
4. The received signal varies depending on surface reflectivity, distance and environmental conditions.
5. With appropriate calibration and signal processing, the sensor can be used for basic surface differentiation experiments.

Note: This module is not a direct replacement for full RGB color sensors such as TCS3200 or TCS34725. Actual color differentiation depends on calibration and testing.
