Grove - 80cm Infrared Proximity Sensor - GP2Y0A21YK

The 80cm Infrared Proximity Sensor is a General Purpose Type Distance Measuring Sensor based on Sharp GP2Y0A21YK, which is a wide-angle distance measuring sensor. This proximity sensor takes a continuous distance reading and returns a corresponding analog voltage with a range of 10cm (4") to 80cm (30").

Features

• Wide detection range: Non-contact distance detection area between 10cm to 80cm, and angle reach to 4``- 30``
• High-speed response rate: Sensor response time of only 39ms
• Simple digital output: Outputting digital signals is easier to handle
• Grove unified socket: The product ensures "Plug and Play" and could be versatile for various applications
• Compact size, easy to install: Small size is more conducive to carrying and installing in the place of detection

Description

This sensor is quite small and uses a tiny connector called the Japan Solderless Terminal (JST) connector. These connectors have three wires: Ground, VCC, and Output. Because the sensor fire continuously and doesn't need any clock to initiate a reading, it is easy to interface with any microcontroller. for the Seeeduino 4.2, the wire converts the 3-wire to 4-wire so that it can be compatible with the twig interface of Grove. You can apply it to TVs, personal computers, cars and so on.

We have developed more than 400 Grove modules, covering a wide range of applications that can fulfill various needs. Click to explore the Grove Sensor family and get started to Grove your Idea.
