This project demonstrates how to measure distance using a Sharp IR sensor with an Arduino UNO. The sensor will read the distance to an object and print the value to the Serial Monitor. Connect the VCC ...

The purpose of this repository is to help Arduino users get started with using sensor components from Sharp Corporation. You may know Sharp as the maker of consumer electronics products such as ...

Quick Start: IR Sensor With Arduino Code in 5 Minutes For experienced users, here's the essential IR sensor with Arduino setup: Connect VCC to 5V, GND to Ground, OUT to pin D9 Upload the Arduino IR ...

Happily, [Fernando] has released the code, and it should be easy enough to repurpose it with a more accurate sensor. It would be interesting to see a laser-based sensor paired with this code.

He has a very nice $290 laser particle counter, but was really curious how the $12 sharp sensor he found would stack up. To find out, he plugged it into an arduino and started logging both on pachube.
