Hi, just wondering if someone could point me in the right direction, im looking to make a simple IR obstacle detection sensor circuit that will interface with my Arduino to make a simple robot....so circuit and example code would be wonderful.
You should check out letsmakerobots.com, they have a ton of information about stuff like this!

Mind you, a good selection of the people are using Picaxe, but alot of Arduino users as well willing to help!
Also, if you're looking for any ideas.. or just some pointers on a first robot, here's a great write up from Fritsl, on LMR!

He walks you through everything you need to do to make your first robot, then the rest is up to you!
If you are not looking for distance feedback, try these:

If you need a reading back for distance measurement, that's this one.
Personally, I like the Sharp rangefinder ones. The analog version works beautifuly with the Arduino's analog in ports.

You can also buy a sensor like this one, and wire it with a couple of resistors.
