Hi

We just built a IR detection with a Radio Shack IR LED and their
Sharp detector GD1U..whatever....cost a few dollars.  Basically
detects anything within about 60 cm, depending on what surface you
are reflecting off of.  We found that we had to shield the detector
from direct emission from the LED with Aluminum foil..You can
adjust the sensitivity by looking at the detector count rate.  Also
the detector has to be hooked up to port 7  (I am not sure why ).
Works great and very easy to set up.

hi

    i'm trying to find a cheap and reliable infra-red digital sensor with
    a sensing range of around 0-30cm. does anyone have any recommendations?
    are there any online stores that sell a wide variety of such sensors?

    btw, the sharp GP2D05/02 sensors have a sensing range of 10-80cm. what
    happens if the obstacle is less than 10 cm or more than 80cm away from
    the sensors?
