I am having trouble locating the beam angle in which this sensor projects at. I have looked through the data sheet and no luck. I assume it is a straight line, but if you know differently please let me know. The direct name from the SparkFun website is Infrared Proximity Sensor Short Range - Sharp GP2Y0A41SK0F. I tried calling Spark Electronics and that led me no where. Please help!
Hi Gavin, and thanks for posing on the forums!
Unfortunately you’d need to contact Sharp for this information. SparkFun doesn’t make these and doesn’t have the data you’re looking for but Sharp should.
