Pololu Carrier with Sharp GP2Y0D815Z0F Digital Distance Sensor 15cm

Pololu item #: 2465
Brand: Pololu
Status: Obsolete 
RoHS 3 compliant

This product has been discontinued.

The GP2Y0D815Z0F module has been discontinued by Sharp/Socle, so we can no longer manufacture this product. Please consider the Pololu Digital Distance Sensor 15cm as an alternative.

This small digital distance sensor detects objects between 0.5 cm and 15 cm (0.2″ and 6″) away. With its quick response time, small size, low current draw, and short minimum sensing distance, this sensor is a good choice for non-contact, close-proximity object detection, and our compact carrier PCB makes it easy to integrate into your project.

This sensor isn’t behaving as I expect: I’m getting intermittent detection much farther than the maximum range of the sensor and it’s not detecting objects within the advertised detection range. What’s wrong?
Issues like this can be the result of power supply problems, especially since this sensor draws power in short, large bursts, so make sure your power supply is capable of delivering the necessary current. If you experience this problem, try adding a 10 µF or so capacitor across the sensor’s power and ground near the sensor; this compensates for an inadequate power supply and typically restores normal functionality.
