Title: Wrong scematics Sharp GP2D12 IR sensor
Post by: Robobuilder on March 01, 2009, 03:43:08 PM

I have been working on a robot that utilizes a Sharp GP2D12 Ir sensor. The schematics that are given on Robotshop.ca :s homepage says that the left connector on the Ir sensor is the analog out whilst it is the opposite on sharps own schematics ( see *2 on attached image.)


Any help is greatly appriciated !

Cheers / Daniel

Hehe.... left.... depends from where you see it...
The schematics seem correct.... what confuses you?

Yes, both images are correct - Vo is voltage out. Nothing is wrong.

Yes , but what confuses me is that the "long" part of the sensor is on opposite sides in the different pictures. Does this matter ? Is the first image mirrored ?

Thanks .

The image is mirrored. The schematic drawing is the correct one.

So oyu mean that the *2 image is the right one ( the black/white image) ?

It;s just different angle...
Both are the same...So still.... what confuses you...
You just go with one of it... not both cause they are mirrored, as stated....
Anyways.... good hunting....
