An Arduino library that allows to acquire distance data from a Sharp analog distance sensor
- GP2Y0A41SK0F
- GP2Y0A21YK0F
- GP2Y0A02YK0F
- Adding the library to the sketch
#include <SharpIR.h>- Creating an istance
SharpIR sensorName(sensorModel, sensorPin);sensorName : the name of the object
sensorModel : the model code of the sensor (e.g. GP2YA41SK0F)
sensorPin : the analog pin where the sensor Vout pin is attached
- Acquiring data
sensorName.getDistance();
sensorName.getDistance( avoidBurstRead );avoidBurstRead : can be true or false
The above method returns an uint8_t type value that is the distance in centimeters from the sensor and the object in front of it.
By default burst reads are avoided but this causes a delay of 20ms on every call.
In order to speed up the sketch is possible to allow bust reads by setting the parameter avoidBurstRead to false, in this way:
sensorName.getDistance( false );
