Hi Rajbala,

in germany i can get this sensor from "Conrad Electronic". The Sensor is
produced from Sharp.

It is a very interesting sensor, because it is cheap (ca. 16,00$)
It is possible to measure distances between 8-80cm, with a accuracy from round
about 1cm up to 10cm (Distance above 60cm). You get
the distance coded into a 8Bit word.

My software interface (Assembler) worked not properly, i think i have timing
problems with the device.




The GP2D02 is a "Position sensitive detector = PSD" it works like
triangluation and measure with short ir pulses.

For more information see:  http://www.xs4all.nl/~jwasys/gp2d02.html

good luck and i hope somebody can help

Hi:
Can u tell me where to get that sensor? Even I would like to experiment
with it. Did u get any further with your tests?
I mean, do u know upto how much distance it can sense and all?
Does it also need modulated output? Actually, I was experimenting with the
Sharp GP1U58X ir detector and i cannot get it to sense the ir radiations..
I am trying to modulate the led output by software only..
Bye,
Raj
Hi all,

have somebody experience with the Sharp GP2D02 IR-Distance Sensor. It´s
a nice and
cheap Sensor..

I plan it to connect via the SPI connector on the handyboard, but today
i have problems with
the timing..

Greetings


Bernd Klein
