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 sensor directly with a computer we reccomend the following:

• Phidget Interface Kit 8/8/8 (To interface with your computer)
• Phidget IR Distance Sensor Interface Board (To connect sensor to 8/8/8; includes all necessary cables) OR get the Phidget IR Distance Sensor Kit (4-30cm) (Includes the GP2Y0A41SK0F sensor and IR Distance Sensor Interface Board)
