Infrared sensor
===========================================

This infrared device can detect an object at a given distance. This distance can be
adjusted between 6 and 80 cm.

To get more information about the sensor and to set up the distance detection, please
refer to this |lien manuel IR sensor|.

- When the distance of the sensor < adjusted distance: an obstacle/object is detected.
    - The LED lights up,
    - The output is set to 0.
- When the distance of the sensor > adjusted distance: no obstacle/object is detected.
    - The LED lights off,
    - The output is set to 1.
