Conclusion
The Sharp GP2Y0D810Z0F digital distance sensor is a reliable and accurate component for measuring distances in a wide range of applications. Its compact design, low power consumption, and digital output make it an ideal choice for developers and engineers working on IoT projects, robotics, and industrial automation systems.
Sharp GP2Y0D810Z0F Digital Distance Sensor DocumentationOverviewThe Sharp GP2Y0D810Z0F is a digital distance sensor module that uses infrared technology to measure distances from 2 cm to 150 cm. It is a compact, low-power device suitable for various applications, including robotics, automation, and IoT projects.PinoutVCC: Power supply (5V)
GND: Ground
OUT: Digital output signalTechnical SpecificationsMeasuring range: 2 cm to 150 cm
Output type: Digital (HIGH or LOW)
Output pulse width: 10 ms to 150 ms (proportional to distance)
Power consumption: 5 mA (typical)
Operating voltage: 4.5 V to 5.5 V
Operating temperature: -20C to 60CCode Examples### Example 1: Basic Distance Measurement using ArduinoThis example demonstrates how to use the Sharp GP2Y0D810Z0F to measure distance using an Arduino board.
```c
const int sensorPin = 2; // Connect OUT pin of sensor to digital pin 2 on Arduinovoid setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(sensorPin, INPUT);
}void loop() {
int distance = readDistance();
Serial.print("Distance: ");
Serial.print(distance);
Serial.println(" cm");
delay(50);
}int readDistance() {
int pulseWidth = pulseIn(sensorPin, HIGH);
int distance = pulseWidth / 58; // Convert pulse width to distance (cm)
return distance;
}
```
In this example, the `readDistance()` function uses the `pulseIn()` function to measure the pulse width of the digital output signal from the sensor. The pulse width is then converted to a distance value (in cm) using the formula: `distance = pulseWidth / 58`.### Example 2: Object Detection using Raspberry Pi (Python)This example demonstrates how to use the Sharp GP2Y0D810Z0F to detect objects using a Raspberry Pi and Python.
```python
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
import timeGPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
sensor_pin = 17 # Connect OUT pin of sensor to GPIO pin 17 on Raspberry Pi
GPIO.setup(sensor_pin, GPIO.IN)while True:
if GPIO.input(sensor_pin):
print("Object detected!")
else:
print("No object detected.")
time.sleep(0.1)
```
In this example, the script uses the RPi.GPIO library to read the digital output signal from the sensor. When the signal is HIGH, it indicates that an object is detected, and the script prints a corresponding message.Note: These examples are for illustrative purposes only and may require modifications to suit specific project requirements. Always consult the datasheet and documentation provided by the manufacturer for detailed information on the component's usage and limitations.
