Description:
GP2Y0A710K0F is a distance measuring sensor unit, composed of an integrated combination of PSD (position sensitive detector) , IRED (infrared emitting diode) and signal processing circuit. The variety of the reflectivity of the object, the environmental temperature and the operating duration are not influenced easily to the distance detection because of adopting the triangulation method. This device outputs the voltage corresponding to the detection distance. So this sensor can also be used as a proximity sensor.
This extra-long-range SHARP Distance Measuring Sensor unit 100 to 550 cm – GP2Y0A710K0F with cable bounces IR off objects to determine how far away they are. It returns an analog voltage that can be used to determine how close the nearest object is. the long-range makes them a good alternative to sonar sensors.
These sensors tend to be a little noisy, we suggest soldering/connecting the 220uF capacitor to the same place you connect the wires, to provide some filtering on the power supply. Connect the + pin of the capacitor to the Vcc wire connection, and the – pin of the capacitor to the GND wire connection.
