IR Proximity Sensor

The Code – Proxy Sensor

Perform this 10 times and get average

Read from Input pin to test for ambient IR

Turn on IR LEDs

Test IR levels

Turn off LEDs

Test ambient IR levels

Display average IR readings on screen

The Code – Cube

If distance is between 0 to 5cm,

Execute animation A

Else if distance is between 5cm to 10cm

Execute animation B

Else if……

Else if…….

Else

Turn off all LEDs
