This 12-inch (30-cm) cable has three 26 awg wires with a 3-pin female JST connector that matches the connector on Sharp analog distance sensors that have 3 pins. The other ends of the wires are unterminated; they can be cut to length to match your application. The wire color scheme matches the Sharp distance sensor pinout: red for power, black for ground, and white for signal. Specs Pins 1 x 2 Spacing 2mm Cable Length 30cm Gender Female 0-PL117 ...

This tiny three-axis accelerometer is a breakout board for Freescale's MMA7361L MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) low-g accelerometers. The MMA7361 is a great IC, but its small, leadless packages makes it difficult for the typical student or hobbyist to use. This carrier board includes all of the components in the part's recommended connection diagram and breaks the pins out to a 0.5 x 0.4in. 10-pin DIP form factor that is easy to use with standard solderless breadboards and 0.1"...

The GP2Y0A21 Sharp distance sensor is a great way to add obstacle avoidance or motion sensing to your robot or any other project. With a detection range of 4" to 32" and an analog voltage indicating the distance, this sensor is very easy to use.The Sharp distance sensors are a popular choice for many projects that require accurate distance measurements. This IR sensor is more economical than sonar rangefinders, yet it provides much better performance than other IR alternatives. Interfacing to...

The GP2Y0A02 is the longest-range optical distance sensor we carry, featuring a detection range of 8" to 60". The high maximum detection distance makes this sensor a viable alternative to sonar in some applications. The distance is indicated by an analog voltage, making this sensor very easy to use.The Sharp distance sensors are a popular choice for many projects that require accurate distance measurements. This IR sensor is more economical than sonar rangefinders, yet it provides much better...
