A simulation of how the part behaves — not a recording of mine. Bench photos go in the evidence below.

   Shine

   An infrared LED lights up whatever is in front of it — invisible to you, bright to the receiver sitting next to it.

   Measure what comes back

   Light surfaces bounce most of it back. Black tape swallows almost all of it. The receiver's reading tracks the difference.

   One bit of truth

   A comparator turns that reading into a single yes or no against a threshold you tune by hand — obstacle or no obstacle, line or no line.
