	Sharp IR distance sensors are recommended for use with the IR Distance Adapter board. The sensor values given will be outside the specified range when no object is present, and fall between a specific range when an object isdetected. For analog type sensors, the output is roughly inversely proportional to the distance between the specific range. For digital type sensors, output below a certain value can be treated as a detection.		Sharp IR distance sensors are recommended for use with the IR Distance Adapter board.

You must be especially careful when the object is closer than it should be, as the returned value might be within the SensorValue range but is not meaningful. If the sensor is being used outdoors, be mindful that sunlight can cause interference, especially when the sunlight is entering at such an angle that it is within the sensor's cone of detection. The IR light from these sensors can pass through glass, but only if the glass is completely clear and the sensor is perpendicular and very close to the surface of the glass. Otherwise, too much IR light will be reflected for the sensor to work properly.

==Technical Details==

The function of the IR Distance Adapter Board is to regulate the power requirement of the connected sensor.
Although the specified current consumption may be low for these types of sensors, they may draw much more
current for short periods of time during measurements. If two or more of these sensors are directly connected to the
analog inputs of a PhidgetInterfaceKit, (which can source a maximum of 500mA current total) then the InterfaceKit
may potentially experience an overload. Up to eight Sharp IR Distance sensors can safely be connected to the
PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8 at the same time through IR Distance Adapter Boards, which prevents the possibility of
overcurrent.
Sharp IR distance sensors are recommended for use with the IR Distance Adapter board. The sensor values given
will be outside the specified range when no object is present, and fall between a specific range when an object is
detected. For analog type sensors, the output is roughly inversely proportional to the distance between the specific
range. For digital type sensors, output below a certain value can be treated as a detection.
Make sure that the distance of the object being measured is within the distance range of the sensor. When the
object is outside the valid sensor’s distance range, the returned value should be discarded. You must be especially
careful when the object is closer than it should be, as the returned value might be within the SensorValue range but
is not meaningful.
Formulas
These formulas are derived from the Sharp datasheets to compute distance and are only valid for the
Sharp Distance Sensors that we stock and sell on Phidgets.com.
• 3520 - Sharp Distance Sensor 2D120X (4-30cm)
• 3521 - Sharp Distance Sensor 2Y0A21 (10-80cm)
• 3522 - Sharp Distance Sensor 2Y0A02 (20-150cm)
The formula to translate SensorValue into Distance for Sharp 4-30cm analog sensor is:
Distance (cm) = 2076/(SensorValue - 11)
This formula is only valid over the SensorValue range 80-530.
The formula to translate SensorValue into Distance for Sharp 10-80cm analog sensors is:
Distance (cm) = 4800/(SensorValue - 20)
This formula is only valid over the SensorValue range 80-500.
The formula to translate SensorValue into Distance for Sharp 20-150cm analog sensors is:
Distance (cm) = 9462/(SensorValue - 16.92)
This formula is only valid over the SensorValue range 80-490.
For digital distance sensors, SensorValue will be greater than 200 if the distance of the object being measured is less
that the detection distance of the sensor. Otherwise the SensorValue will be less that 200.
Note: The output of this sensor will vary from unit to unit, and based on the characteristics of the target
(reflectance, size, direction of motion, object alignment, ...). Our formula is based on the data provided by Sharp.
If you find that you are not getting good results with the standard formulas, you may want to derive your own
formula to better characterize your situation.

===Compatible Infrared Sensors ===
The following is a list of distance sensors that are known to work with the IR Distance Adapter Board. If the product is not listed here, it can be assumed to be incompatible.
