How to use
We will illustrate the usage of the module with a NUCLEO-F103RB (STM32F103) or Arduino UNO development board.
1. Download the Demo code and extract it, then program the examples to your NUCLEO or Arduino development board.
2. Connect the development board to a PC via a serial wire and the module to the development board. Then, power up the development board and start the serial debugging software (e.g. PuTTY or Serial Monitor). Here is the configuration of the connection between the module and the development board.

Expected result
- When a barrier is placed near the sensor, the signal indicator will turn on or else turn off.
- The serial output will change according to the distance between the module and the barrier.
