This sensor takes a continuous distance reading and reports the distance as an
analog voltage with a distance range of 20cm (~8") to 150cm (~60"). The interface
is 3-wire with power, ground and the output voltage and requires a JST 3-pin connector
which is included with each detector package. The JST 3-pin connector includes the J3 connector for the sensor and
bare wires at the other end, and requires that the processor or ADC-side connector be purchased or
built separately. For most applications we recommend purchasing
the Sharp IR to Servo Cable separately.
