Infrared Proximity Sensor Long Range - Sharp GP2Y0A02YK0F

sku: SEN-08958

Description: Infrared proximity sensor made by Sharp. Part # GP2Y0A02YK0F has an analog output that varies from 2.8V at 15cm to 0.4V at 150cm with a supply voltage between 4.5 and 5.5VDC. The sensor has a Japanese Solderless Terminal (JST) Connector. We recommend purchasing the related pigtail below or soldering wires directly to the back of the module.

This sensor is great for sensing objects up to 5 feet away!

I hooked this up to my Arduino, but I am not getting any input voltage. How should the wires be connected?

I take that back. The input voltage seems to be random, and not related to how far an object is.

Check the datasheet... One really fun gotcha of this component is that it needs two reads to really stabilize the data and get good information, but it will tell you the first read, meaning that if there is constant motion, or something JUST NOW stopped, your first read will be trash, and subsequent reads will actually have a basis in reality.

if your using the 3 wire connector then you need to wire the yellow to the analog in, the red to the 5V, and the black to GRD hope this helps
