Product description: Digital distance sensor 100 cm - Pololu 4069
Module equipped withdistance sensorbased onLidartechnology. The sensor's operating range isup to 100cm and it is poweredfrom 3 V to 5.5 V. It is equipped with one digital output that changes its state to low when an object is detected.The module is not able to measure distance, it only informs about the detection of an obstacle within 100 cm with an accuracy of1 mm. The short range Lidar technology is used toprecisely measurethe time it takes for the emitted pulses of eye-safe infrared light to reach the nearest object and be reflected back.
Application example
- Alternative brake light sensor and photobeam
- Non-contact sensor for robot collision or obstacle
- A non-contact interface element to activate a device or process
- Counter or timer for objects as they pass by
Infrared light emitted by the sensor, captured with a camera without IR filter.

Digital distance sensor 100 cm.
Using the distance sensor
The board is equipped with 3 leads:VIN, GND and OUT.These leads are located on the board in the form of holes with a raster of 2.54 mm, with the possibility of solderinggoldpin connectors(not included). VIN pin is used for supplying voltage from3V to 5.5V, GND is system ground pin (0V). On OUT pin low state (0 V) appears when sensor detects an object and high state (up to VIN level) appears when object is not detected. TheredLEDalso lights up when an object is detected. There is also an ENABLE pin on the board that can be set low to put it into a low power state, which consumes about 0.4 mA of current. The ENABLE pin is pulled up to VIN by default.
There is a protective film on the sensor that must be removed before working with the module.
Jumper settings on the sensor module
The module has four surface mount configuration jumpers (4321) that determine its modes of operation. Different versions of Pololu sensors have the jumpers set appropriately in the form of 0 Ω resistors. The resistors can be soldered out or bridges can be added to convert one version of the sensor to another. This sensor can be converted to any other version of irs17a according to the table below.

Comparison of Pololu and Sharp sensors.
Comparison with Sharp sensor
Pololu sensors have the sameshape and leadsasSharp sensors. They are available with the same and larger sensing ranges, which means that they can be usedinterchangeably. The sensors on the newer Pololu devices aremuch thinnerthan the Sharp modules, so the zero point is about 7mm closer to the plate, and the beam angle on the newer devices is wider.
