	A proximity sensor measures the distance between itself and an object by emitting electromagnetic radiation (like infrared) and detecting the reflection. When the object comes within a certain range, the sensor picks up a signal, and Roboki can use this information to trigger an output.

In this activity, we will explore how to interface Roboki with an external proximity sensor to control LED lights. A proximity sensor detects the presence of nearby objects without physical contact, making it ideal for applications that require distance measurement or object detection. Roboki has two ports ; port A and port B. Any external component can be connected to this port.

	This guide will take you through the steps of connecting the proximity sensor, reading its values, and using those readings to control LEDs, including programming an RGB LED to display different colors based on sensor data.
