Using reflected IR light, measure the distance of an opaque object 10-80 cm away. Requires an IR Distance Adapter to be used with Phidgets. Sharp Distance Sensor (10-80cm) Using reflected IR light, measure the distance of an opaque object 10-80cm away. Requires an IR Distance Adapter to be used with Phidgets. Description Specifications Resources Connection This popular sensor made by Sharp produces an analog output that varies from from 3.1V at 4cm to 0.3V at 80cm. Based on "typical values" from Sharp, the formula to translate SensorValue into Distance (the formula is only valid for a SensorValue between 80 to 530) is: Distance (cm) = 4800/(SensorValue - 20) This sensor can find the distanc...

Measure the distance of an opaque object up to 4mm away using reflected IR light. Connects to a Phidgets Analog Input. IR Reflective Sensor 1-4mm Measure the distance of an opaque object up to 4mm away using reflected IR light. Connects to a Phidgets Analog Input. Description Specifications Resources Code Sample The 1146_0 IR Reflective Sensor uses an infra-red LED and a phototransistor to measure the distance of an object between 1mm and 4mm away. This sensor can also detect the presence of an object up to 9mm away, but it won't be able to reliably measure the distance. This sensor works best with objects with smooth, opaque surfaces. Because of this, you can also use it to differentiate between a reflective object and a non-refle...

This adapter lets you read Sharp distance sensors with a Phidgets Analog Input. IR Distance Adapter This adapter lets you read Sharp distance sensors with a Phidgets Analog Input. Description Specifications Resources Code Sample The IR Distance Adapter is designed to interface Sharp IR distance sensors to an analog input on a PhidgetInterface board. Any sharp sensor with a supply voltage of 5V and an output voltage range falling within 0-5V is compatible with this adapter. The cable included with this adapter uses a JST S3B-PH connector, like the sharp sensors sold by Phidgets Inc. If your sharp sensor uses a different connector, you'll need to find a matching cable for it. Comes Packaged with: - 3002 ¡V 60cm Sensor Cable - A 30cm Sharp Sensor Interface Cable ...

A 1018 with an on-board powered 6-port full-speed (12Mbit/s) USB hub. PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8 w/6 Port Hub A 1018 with an on-board powered 6-port full-speed (12Mbit/s) USB hub. Description Specifications Resources Code Sample Analog Inputs The Analog Inputs are used to measure continuous quantities, such as temperature, humidity, position, pressure, etc. Phidgets offers a wide variety of sensors that can be plugged directly into the 1011's female cable connector using the cable included with the sensor. Sampling rates can be set at 1ms, 2ms, 4ms, 8ms and multiple of 8ms up to 1000ms. Digital Inputs The Digital Inputs have a Digital Input Hardware Filter to eliminate false triggering fro...

The ideal product for OEMs and Systems Integrators. The small DIP-36 package will plug right into your own designed board. PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8 Mini-Format The ideal product for OEMs and Systems Integrators. The small DIP-36 package will plug right into your own designed board. Description Specifications Resources Code Sample Provides the full functionality of the 8/8/8 I/O board in a small DIP-36 package that is plugged into your own board. If you want the 8/8/8 functionality but space is an issue, or you are building a number of units and want to eliminate wiring between boards, this is the way to go. You can create a smaller system by integrating custom electronics into your PCB, and by only using connectors for the...
