Sharp GP2Y0D810Z0F Digital Distance Sensor

It is one of Sharp’s fastest distance sensors – with a sample rate of almost 400 Hz and is an attractive alternative to short-range phototransistors and longer-range analog distance sensors.

Output is high normally and low when the sensor detects an object. This sensor only tells if the object’s nearby – not how near or far the sensor is – so they’re great for break-beam, obstacle detection, and object counting.

This sensor comes with a 3-pin male header and a 3-pin right-angle male header. You can connect these pins with a servo cable. The square pad is ground, the middle is VIN, and the remaining pad is output. If you place a large capacitor (more than 10uF) between power and ground you should see an increase in performance.
