New Arduino Sharp GP2Y02 IR Sensor

It is an analog distance sensor designed to detect an object between 10 cm and 80 cm by using infrared. It is capable of measuring distances from an obstacle and provides a non-linear voltage output in relation to the distance an object is from the sensor and interfaces easily using any analog to digital converter. The interface is 3-wire with power, ground and output. This sensor comes with a 3 Pin JST cable.

Specifications:
Supply Voltage: 5V
Current: 33 to 50mA
Detecting Range: 10 to 80cm
Output: Analog, proportional to distance
