Phidgets PC Sensing & Control

Phidgets are an easy to use set of building blocks for low cost sensing and control from your PC. Using the Universal Serial Bus (USB) as the basis for all Phidgets, the complexity is managed behind an easy to use and robust Application Programming Interface (API). Applications can be developed quickly in Visual Basic, VBA (Microsoft Access and Excel), LabView, Java, Delphi, C and C++.



Phidgets IR Distance Sensor

Phidgets IR Distance Sensor

IR Distance Sensor is an adapter to interface the Sharp GP2D12 to the PhidgetInterfaceKit 8/8/8. The GP2D12 measures distances from 70 cm to 10 cm producing a voltage from 0 to 2.5V. This is interpreted as a sensor value of 0 to approximately 500 on the 8/8/8.

  • 60cm sensor cable included.
  • 30cm GP2D12 Cable included
  • GP2D12 (Not Included)
