Hi, I was searching a web page which gives an overview about all the sharp distance sensors. I 've found it. I 'm sure that some of yours will read it.

from my experience it really depends on the application, if you are working on a walker it usually takes a minimum of 1:12 for most of mine, but i don't know waht you are doing. mike "rubbing the weekend out of his eyes" fusion (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics.rcx, lugnet.robotics)

Hi, Sorry about that I meant the GP2D12 not GP2D02. The subject line threw me off as the original post was about the D02 not D12... Ram (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)

(...) The GP2D02 is a very powerful sensor for a robot. Getting it to work will really be great. I think the best bet is to use a 9V battery box for this instead of using a precious output port... Ram (24 years ago, 22-Jan-01, to lugnet.robotics, lugnet.robotics.rcx)
