IR Distance Sensor with Cables - Sharp Infrared Sensor Module GP2Y0A02YK0F

The Sharp Infrared Sensor Module GP2Y0A02YK0F is designed for accurate distance measurement and proximity detection. It integrates a position sensitive detector, an infrared emitting diode, and a signal processing circuit to measure distances from 20 to 150 cm. The sensor outputs a voltage signal corresponding to the detected distance, which can be read by microcontrollers or other electronics.

Package Includes

  • 1 x  IR Distance Sensor GP2Y0A02YK0F
  • 1  x Set of cables

This sensor uses a triangulation method that is largely unaffected by object reflectivity, environmental temperature, or operating duration. It is widely used in robotics, automation, and other applications requiring reliable distance measurement or object detection. The module comes with cables for easy integration into electronic projects.

Sample Circuit

Library

Use the Average.h library to calculate averaged sensor readings.

To install the Average.h library in the Arduino IDE:

  1. Open Arduino IDE.
  2. Go to Sketch → Include Library → Manage Libraries.
  3. In the Library Manager search box, type Average.
  4. Find the library named Average and click Install.
  5. After installation, include the library in your sketch using #include <Average.h>.

 

Sample Code

#include "Average.h"
Average ave(10);
void setup() {
 Serial.begin(9600);
}
void loop() {
 ave.push(60.374*1.3 * pow(map(analogRead(A0), 0, 1023, 0, 5000) / 1000.0, -1.16));
 Serial.println(ave.mean());
 delay(100);
}

How It Works

  • Average ave(10); stores the last 10 sensor readings.
  • ave.push(value); adds a new sensor value to the dataset.
  • ave.mean(); calculates and returns the average of the stored readings.
