3522 functional 1101 and VINT Hub3522 functional 1101 and Analog Input

Using reflected IR light, measure the distance of an opaque object 20-150cm away.

This popular sensor made by Sharp produces an analog output that varies from 2.5V at 20cm to 0.4V at 150cm.

Based on "typical values" from Sharp, the formula to translate output voltage ratio into Distance is:

Distance (cm) = 9.462/(VoltageRatio - 0.01692)

This sensor can find the distance to objects that present a very narrow edge such as a wall at a very sharp angle.

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, and 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.

Connection

The sensor plugs in the 1101 - IR Distance Adapter. See the Connection & Compatibility tab for details.

If you are not getting good results with the standard formula, have a look at the product datasheet which has good notes on what can affect the sensor's performance

Accuracy

Connecting

All measurements are based on data provided by Sharp who used an r-27 calibration card, 90% reflectance. Based on our formula, we have calculated a minimum and maximum distance with the card at minimum and maximum distance.
