Connecting Sharp IR to $50 - Wire Connections?

[HDL_CinC_Dragon]

I didnt realize I had to order the premade wire separately from the website so I had to modify some audio cable off an old sound card... my question is: what pins on the Sharp IR go to GND, 5v, and data?

-Thanks

you mean that the Sharp IR didnt come with wiring?!

what pins on the Sharp IR go to GND, 5v, and data?

you are going to hit yourself when you read my answer:
black wire to GND
red wire to 5V
white/yellow wire to data

(its also in the pictures)

lol thanks admin, That should be all the info I need


and yeah, the Sharp IR did not come with wiring. I ordered from Junun Robotics and the second "paragraph" says that you need to buy the wires separately and gives you a link... charges you a dollar for them too... its my fault really, didnt read the whole thing... ah well, just adds to the fun

Ok so based on the image, with the RangeFinder facing you and the connector facing upwards, the order from left to right is Red, Black, Yellow right?
