IR distance click
1. Introduction
IR distance click carries Sharp's
GP2Y0A60SZ0F distance measuring
sensor. The sensor module comprises
an integrated PSD (position sensitive
detector), an infrared LED and a signal
processing circuit. The measuring range is
between 10 and 150 cm. The click board
outputs an analog voltage corresponding
to the distance of the object (through the
mikroBUS™ AN pin). An Enable (EN) pin is
also utilized. The board is designed to use
either a 3.3V or a 5V power supply.
2. Soldering the headers
Before using your click board ™ , make sure
to solder 1x8 male headers to both left and
right side of the board. Two 1x8 male headers
are included with the board in the package.

Turn the board upside down so that
the bottom side is facing you upwards.
Place shorter pins of the header into the
appropriate soldering pads.

Turn the board upward again. Make sure
to align the headers so that they are
perpendicular to the board, then solder the
pins carefully.
3. Plugging the board in
Once you have soldered the headers your
board is ready to be placed into the desired
mikroBUS socket. Make sure to align the cut
™
in the lower-right part of the board with the
markings on the silkscreen at the mikroBUS
socket. If all the pins are aligned
correctly, push the board all the
way into the socket.
4. Essential features
The sensor on IR distance click is not easily
influenced by variations caused by the
reflectivity of the object whose distance
is measured (it won't be able, however, to
detect the distance of a mirror). For optimal
operation the lens should be kept clean,
because dust, water or oil on its surface
can impact the precision of the sensor. With
these precautions in mind, the IR distance
can be used for designing touch-less
switches, various energy-saving devices, but
it's also suitable for robotics.
