Infrared Distance Sensor (100-500cm) GP2Y0A710K0F (OT3462)

The Sharp GP2Y0A710K0F is a distance sensor with an integrated combination of PSD (position sensitive detector), IRED (infrared emitting diode) and signal processing circuit. This sensor has an analog output.
Works on the principle of triangulation.
The GP2Y0A710K0F outputs a positive analog voltage signal between 1.55 and 2.5 V.
Application examples:

projector (for autofocus),
automatic switch for lighting
body detector
robotics
wearables

Long distance measurement range from 100 cm to 550 cm
Good to know: It is recommended to place a capacitor of 10 µF or more between VCC and GND. Use a power supply that can supply 350 mA or more to work properly._x005F_x000D_
