The Sharp IR Distance Sensor GP2Y0A41SK0F is a great low cost robotic range-finder. The Distance Sensor will report the presence of an object 4-30cm away from the sensor. The sensors reports this data as an analog value readable by most microcontrollers, like the Arduino. This sensor can plug directly into a RobotGeek Sensor Shield using a Sharp IR to Servo Cable. This cable can also be handy to connect to other systems and controllers (users can cut/splice the wire). If you want to use this...

The PIR(Passive Infra-Red) Sensor is a pyroelectric device that detects motion by sensing changes in the infrared(radiant heat) levels emitted by surrounding objects.Each Wide Angle PIR Sensor cable includes a 4-pin cable, as well as a mount and hardware to adapt to all RobotGeek products with a centimeter grid pattern (Workbenches, Geekbot, etc.). Mount it at a right angle, and flat.Product FeaturesSingle bit output Small size On-board LEDs Power 3V to 6VDC operation 150uA idle, 3mA active(no...

One of the most favored IR range sensors on the market. Detects distances from 4" to 30" (10cm-80cm). Note: The sensor sold here is actually a Sharp IR GP2Y0A21YK0F. It has the same distance range as a GP2D12 and very similar analog output properties. The GP2D12 is extremely difficult to source currently, so these sensors provide a great alternative. For more information on the minor differences, please refer to the datasheets for each sensor: Datasheets GP2D12 Datasheet GP2Y0A21YK0F...

This sensor takes a continuous distance reading and reports the distance as an analog voltage with a distance range of 20cm (~8") to 150cm (~60"). The interface is 3-wire with power, ground and the output voltage and requires a JST 3-pin connector (not included). The JST 3-pin connector includes the J3 connector for the sensor and bare wires at the other end, and requires that the processor or ADC-side connector be purchased or built separately. For most applications we recommend...
