Sharp IR On Car Robot, Table Top Robot Avoids Falling Off

anyone know how to write this code in java?

:loop adc_wait(adc0,lower,160) stop() reverse(200,500) sleep(50) left(255,500) stop() forward() sleep(50) goto(loop)

now it starts, avoids falling off table, turns left, keeps going - cheers! All figured out below, I solved it below with help of thetechguru

Yep, that seems to be the Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F sensor. It works from 10 to 80cm.

Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F GP2Y0A21 10~80cm Infrared Proximity Distance Sensor

is enough for a table top car  :-)

You always can get the Infrared Proximity Sensor Long Range - Sharp GP2Y0A02YK0F  19.95

the Description: Infrared proximity sensor made by Sharp. Part # GP2Y0A02YK0F has an analog output that varies from 2.8V at 15cm to 0.4V at 150cm with a supply voltage between 4.5 and 5.5VDC. The sensor has a Japanese Solderless Terminal (JST) Connector. We recommend purchasing the related pigtail below or soldering wires directly to the back of the module.

I have used those Sharp sensors too, and they do a pretty good job.

I've used the same Sharp sensors for years and have have had good results with them for edge and line detection.

On my big robot I use 5 of this:

Sharp GP2Y0A51SK0F Analog Distance Sensor 2-15cm https://www.pololu.com/product/2450

Similar to the GP2Y0A21YK0F but a shorter range 2-15cm.

@PTP   I like how small those are.  The GP2Y0A21YK0F work fine if the drop-off you are worried about is high enough.  The step I am avoiding is well over 10cm, so I just watch for an increase from unmeasurably small to measurable, but for future builds I think I'll get the Pololu ones.

This is why I use the Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F GP2Y0A21 10~80cm Infrared Proximity Distance Sensor

not the Sharp Infrared Distance Sensor

PtP what script do you use for the sensors?
