Sharp Distance Sensor (20-150cm)

Description

• Sharp Distance Sensor (20-150cm)
• Measures distance from 20-150cm
• Offers analog output from 2.5V to 0.4V
• Connects to Phidgets 1011 adapter
• Detects objects with narrow edges
• Varies output based on target traits

The Sharp Distance Sensor (20-150cm) utilizes reflected infrared light to measure the distance of opaque objects within a range of 20 to 150 centimeters. It generates an analog output that varies with distance, providing a voltage from 2.5V at 20cm to 0.4V at 150cm. This sensor is capable of detecting objects with narrow edges, such as walls at sharp angles, and connects to the Phidgets 1011 IR Distance Adapter. The output may vary depending on the target’s reflectance, size, motion direction, and alignment.

Specifications

• Measures distance of an object from 20 to 150 cm
• Connects to the Phidgets 1011 IR Distance Adapter
• Produces an analog output varying from 2.5V at 20 cm to 0.4V at 150 cm
• Uses a formula to translate output voltage ratio into distance: Distance (cm) = 9.462/(VoltageRatio – 0.01692)
• Output varies based on target characteristics such as reflectance, size, direction of motion, and object alignment
