Distance sensor from Sharp
The advanced measurement methods provide you with a very high level of reliability in applications using these distance sensors. By using a focused beam, the sensors offer a higher level of precision than conventional sensors. You can use them to show an object or check whether the object exists.
Connection to most microcontrollers is simple: The individual analogue outputs can be connected to an analogue-to-digital converter for recording the distance measurements, or the output can be connected to a comparator for threshold value detection. The detection range of this version is approximately 20 cm to 150 cm.
Application examples:
• Robotics
• Security
• Sanitation
• Gaming/PC peripherals
