I would mount the unit on a servo that rotates the sensor to the left side, takes a reading, rotates the sensor to the middle, takes a reading, rotates the sensor to the right side, takes a reading, then determines what action to take based on the data it just collected from the three readings.  Then continuously repeat the process.

you should do tutorials on programming and learn other stuff, not just take other people's work


if you're doing that and not learning , whats the point of making a robot?

you do want to learn right???
Check out the Roboduino, Arduino-compatible board!

the programming is pretty straight forward for the approach I suggested... what microcontroller are you using?

A simple if statement like this:

if( irRange > 120){
  turn
}

Works. I am using that for my object avoidance bot right now using the Sharp IR sensor until I turn it into a mapping bot.
