Sharp_GP2Y0A710K_Distance_Sensor__100-550cm__SKU__SEN0085-DFRobot

Introduction

The GP2Y0A710K infrared sensor is a new version of GP2Y0A700K which takes a continuous distance reading and reports the distance as an analog voltage with a distance range of 1m (39.3") to 5.5m (216.5").

The interface is 5-wire JST connector (included with pins) with dual Vcc, dual Gnd, and a single output voltage.

Simply provide power and ground, and read a continuous analog voltage representing distance. A software lookup table can be implemented to translate the voltages to distances.

Connecting diagram

User guides

Two "voltage vs distance" diagrams are enough for using it. Voltage is linear to the inverse of distance. (Distance range is 1m to 5.5m) Two reference points:

Then, we have a linear equation of digital value and distance. (512-sensorValue)/(1/100-1/distance)=(512-286)/(0.01-0.002) => distance=28250/(sensorValue-229.5)
