Hello there Handyboard users in the world,

I read a lot about these IR sensors: Sharp GP1U52 or GP1U56Y. I would
like to use some of these sensors in my own robot, that I build around a
8051 and a Forth interpreter. Now it has a few bumper switches mounted.
It works well, but it is not as elegant as using IR sensors.
I like to use IR sensors for obstacle avoidance.

However, living in the Netherlands, it seems to be quite difficult to
lay my hand on these sensors. Regular electronics suppliers and shops
don't sell these sensors and they can't even order.

Does anyone know a company where I can (mail) order some GP1U56Y sensors?
Or does anyone have any other suggestion?
