My Sharp Ir Not Compatible With Radar :/

Hello everyone!

I have a sharp GP2D120 that sends voltage between 0 V and 2.88 V depending on the distance of the obstacle.

But the sharp IR radar seem sensible only from about 3.50 V ,so i never see the red dot because 2.88V in ADC read = distance:101 in the IR Radar windows confused

I have to use another sensor or I can add a small circuit to increase the voltage?(resistor between Signal and +5V?)

Thanks you :D

Great you're cool DJ:)

I'll be able to mount the sensor in the muzzle of my robot dog:P

I just received my EZB and it's funny to try anything!

Your card is very powerful and I can adapt the various movements call (like camera movement tracking) to synchronize my servo control circuit (pololu maestro) with the powerful "movement script" windows !

My project will be more alive with EZB :D

An old topic I know but was this issue ever fixed? Or was it forgotten? Or is it still in process?

It'd be great DJ to allow us to calibrate the IR radar so it can react to the shown values. So far this is a pretty big and unconvenient glitch and it hasn't been resolved after 3 years, if I'm correct. Thanks in advance.

Hi elfege, I'll add this to the list. Should have time to fit it in near the end of 2015. Thanks!

This would be an incredibly low priority as the ezb v4 is ready a 3.3v system and there is no reason for additional options at this time. And the v3 is a discontinued product.
