Learning objectives

  • Understand the physical principle of infrared radiation and IR detection
  • Identify and differentiate the different types of infrared sensors
  • Know how to select and use an IR sensor according to the application (obstacle detection, temperature measurement, communication, etc.)
  • Integrate an IR sensor with a microcontroller and interpret the data from the sensor
  • Implement a practical setup exploiting IR sensors

Our social commitment

A school kit donated to a child for every training

To fight inequalities in access to education, Learni donates a complete school kit to a child in need for every training booked. You build your skills, a child heads back to school.

  • Backpack, notebooks and essential supplies
  • Distributed through our partner charities
  • Included, at no extra cost to you

The Learni story

Founded by engineers and learning experts, Learni's mission is to make high-impact tech training accessible to teams everywhere. We work remotely with organizations across the US and Canada, in your time zone, to help teams upskill fast.

Don't let this gap widen

Why this program matters

  • Without this upskilling, your team accumulates a technological gap that translates directly into productivity loss.

  • Organizations that don't train their talents on key topics see their competitiveness drop.

  • Every quarter without training is a gap widening with competitors who invest.

  • The cost of inaction quickly exceeds that of well-targeted training.

Program

Module 1Fundamentals of Infrared Sensors

Basic concepts on infrared, electromagnetic spectrum, types of IR radiation, physical properties of IR light. Introduction to IR sensors: passive detectors (PIR), active sensors (IR emitters and receivers), photodiodes and phototransistors. Common applications in detection, control, and automation. Practical examples and identification of common components.

Module 2Implementing IR Sensors: Electronics & Programming

Study of integration schematics for IR sensors with microcontrollers (Arduino, ESP32, Raspberry Pi). Wiring, power supply, and protections. Reading the IR signal, filtering and amplification, interference management. Programming simple sensor readings (reflection, optical barrier, obstacle). Practical exercises: IR data reception, motion detector creation, IR signal transmission (infrared communication, remote controls).

Module 3Deploying Projects with IR Sensors and Practical Mini-Projects

Exploration of advanced applications: IR distance measurement, temperature detection, security systems, home automation, robotics. Study of IR communication (protocols, signal decoding), creating a homemade remote control. Performance evaluation, limitations, environmental disturbance management. Group mini-projects: passage counter system, IR barriers for autonomous robot or alarm, connected home automation application.

Evaluation method

  • Knowledge validation MCQ at the end of each day
  • Practical wiring and programming exercises corrected by the trainer
  • Mini-project to present at the end of the training (report and demonstration)

Learning method

  • Detailed digital course materials (slides, diagrams, example codes provided)
  • Live demonstrations on simulator and real hardware
  • Practical workshops remotely with individual assistance

Methods, materials and delivery

The Training: Mastering Infrared (IR) Sensors: Applications and Hands-On Practice program is delivered onsite or remote (blended-learning, virtual classroom, remote presence). At Learni, an industry-certified training organization, every program is built to maximize skills acquisition regardless of the chosen format.

The trainer alternates between demonstrative, interrogative and active methods (through hands-on labs and/or scenarios). This pedagogical approach guarantees concrete learning that's immediately applicable at work.

Equipment required

For the smooth delivery of the Training: Mastering Infrared (IR) Sensors: Applications and Hands-On Practice program, the following equipment is required:

  • Mac or PC computers, high-speed fiber internet, whiteboard or flipchart, projector or interactive touch screen (for remote sessions)
  • Training environments installed on workstations or accessible online
  • Course materials, hands-on exercises and complementary resources
  • Post-training access to materials and educational resources

For intra-company training on a site outside Learni, the client commits to providing all required teaching materials (computers, internet, etc.) for the smooth delivery of the program in line with the prerequisites in the communicated program.

Skills assessment methods

Assessment of skills acquired during the Training: Mastering Infrared (IR) Sensors: Applications and Hands-On Practice program is performed through:

  • During training: case studies, hands-on labs and professional scenarios
  • End of training: self-assessment questionnaire and skills evaluation by the trainer
  • After training: completion certificate detailing acquired skills

Program accessibility

Learni is committed to making its programs accessible. All our programs are accessible to people with disabilities. Our teams are available to adapt the pedagogical methods to your specific needs. Please contact us for any adjustment request.

Enrollment terms and lead times

Registration is possible up to 48 business hours before the start of training. All our programs are built for corporate L&D budgets and delivered onsite or remotely.

Our method

Training quality, guaranteed at every step

Before, during, after: we frame the brief, introduce the trainer, tailor the content and measure impact. You stay in control from kickoff to wrap-up.

Step 1

Rigorous trainer selection

Each trainer is validated on three criteria: hands-on field expertise, proven pedagogy and alignment with your industry.

  • Triple validation: technical, pedagogical, sectoral.
  • Minimum rating 4.8/5 over the last 12 sessions.
Step 2

You meet the trainer beforehand

30-minute video call between you and the selected trainer to validate the fit, adjust content and clear any final doubts.

  • Live briefing on goals and team context.
  • Veto right — we swap the trainer for free if needed.
Step 3

Content tailored to your context

No recycled slides. The syllabus is reworked from your real cases: tools, constraints, vocabulary, ongoing projects.

  • Hands-on cases drawn from your stack and projects.
  • Program co-written then validated by your team.
Step 4

Continuous quality follow-up

Live evaluations, 30/90/180-day check-ins and a consolidation plan. If the impact misses the mark, we rework it.

  • NPS, knowledge quizzes and skills self-assessment.
  • Satisfaction guarantee: fully satisfied or free rework.

A simple promise: you don't pay to discover the trainer on day one. Everything is validated upfront, by you.
