Trossen Robotics - GP2Y0A02YK IR Sensor Kit (8-60 inches)

This kit provides you with all the necessary hardware to add IR distance sensing to your PC-controlled robot. Thanks to the Phidgets 8/8/8 interface kit, all you need is one USB port to read from 8 IR distance sensors! You can arrange these sensors around the perimeter of your robot to give it spatial perception.

But, that's not all! The 8/8/8 also has 8 digital inputs and 8 digital outputs. The digital inputs are perfect for monitoring bumper switches and input buttons. Digital outputs can be used to drive LED's, relays, and other devices.

Here's what's in the box:

(8) GP2Y0A02YK IR Sensors (8-60 inches)
(8) Phidget IR sensor signal conditioning boards
(8) 24-inch Phidget analog sensor cables
(1) Phidget 8/8/8 Interface Kit
(1) 6-foot USB cable

This product is part of the Phidgets family!
