See through anything up to 3mm with EE-SX1330 transmissive photomicrosensor
IR Eclipse 2 Click is a compact add-on board that detects objects' presence or absence using an infrared beam. This board features the EE-SX1330 photomicrosensor from OMRON that uses an infrared beam and a phototransistor to detect objects interrupting the beam.
KEY FEATURES:
- Photo interrupter ability for any application: Adds photo interrupter functionality to any application for object detection using an infrared beam.
- Up to 3mm detection space: Effectively detects objects up to 3mm in size. This is the distance between the photomicrosensor and phototransistor where an object can interrupt the infrared beam.
- Detection through digital signal: Provides a digital output for reliable object presence/absence detection. This simplifies integration with MCUs for easy data reading.
- Device enable feature: Enable or disable the sensor for power management. This allows you to conserve power when the object detection is not required.
- Object detection LED indicator: Built-in LED provides visual indication of object detection. This is helpful for debugging and monitoring the sensor's functionality during development.
- 3.3V and 5V MCUs compatibility: Compatible with a wide range of MCUs, offering greater flexibility in your project design.
APPLICATIONS:
- Achieve precise object detection for paper feeding or jam prevention.
- Ensure accurate line projection by detecting misalignment.
- Attain reliable presence or absence detection of any object within the 3mm range.
- Monitor movement of parts within a machine. Calculate rotation speed based on object interruptions.

ABOUT CLICK BOARDS™
Click boards™ follow a modular prototyping add-on board standard invented by MIKROE, which revolutionizes the way users add new functionalities to development boards. Click boards™ enable design engineers to change peripherals easily, cutting months off development time. To enable hundreds of Click boards to be connected to the microcontroller or microprocessor, we have invented socket standard - mikroBUS™. This uniform connection interface allows you to connect any Click boards to a main board instantly. The company releases a new Click boards nearly every day at 10am, and many leading microcontroller companies including Microchip, NXP, Infineon, Dialog, STM, Analog Devices, Renesas and Toshiba now include the mikroBUS™ socket on their development boards.
ABOUT MIKROE
MIKROE is committed to changing the embedded electronics industry through the use of time-saving industry-standard hardware and software solutions. With unique concepts like Remote Access, One New Product/Day, Multi-Architectural IDE and most recently, the EmbeddedWiki™ platform with more then million ready-for-use projects, MIKROE combines its dev boards, compilers, smart displays, programmers/debuggers and 1600+ Click peripheral boards to dramatically cut development time. mikroBUS™; mikroSDK™; SiBRAIN™ and DISCON™ are open standards and mikroBUS only has been adopted by over 100 leading microcontroller companies and integrated on their development boards.
