Hi,

I'm interested in plugging this sensor into my teensy 3.6 and could use somebodys expertise.

Sharp - GP2Y0A41SK0F

its rated at 5vdc.

I'm unsure what I need to do to make this work with the 3.6 since it runs at 3.3vdc.

Feel free to flame me if my question is dumb or has been answered. Been searching the forum for a half hour now. :)

Thanks In Advance,
Kirkwood
 
Looking at the data sheet it looks like the analog output does not normally rise above 3.3V so if you like to live dangerously you could plug it straight in and hope...

Better answer is to put a 2/3 voltage divider with a ~10k total resistance on the pin to keep the range definitively inside the Teensy 3.6 pin tolerance.

Legit! Thank You!
