Overview
This sensor SharpGP2Y0A21YK, boasts a small package and very low current consumption, takes a continuous distance reading and returns a corresponding analog voltage with a range of 10cm (4") to 80cm (30"). It can be used in TVs, personal computers, cars and so on.
Features:
- Grove interface compatible
- Wide supply voltage range: 2.5V-7V
Interface:
The sensor is quite small and use a tiny connector called a JST connector. These connectors have three wires: ground, vcc, and the output. Because the sensor fires continuously and don't need any clocking to initiate a reading, it is easy to interface with any microcontroller.

… bringing in a new Entry Plan that really unlocks the power of the cloud. Because the Nano RP2040 Connect is a connected device, this opens up all kinds of possibilities. Not least of all over-the-air updates and programming. This alone can make a Cloud accompaniment to the board worthwhile. It gives you full, incredibly easy access to the hardware. This is true even after it’s been deployed, installed or buried in the guts of a project. If it’s got a WiFi signal, you can do everything as if it was plugged in by USB. Furthermore, it has the added bonus of smartphone control through the Arduino IoT Remote app. The Cloud even makes it super easy for your Nano RP2040 Connect to communicate wirelessly with other boards. Any devices connected to your Arduino Cloud can communicate, and we’re not just talking about official Arduino boards. So Much Software A couple of weeks ago we updated the official Arduino Mbed Core to provide native RP2040 support. The plug-and-play nature of the Arduino Core means you can use existing sketches you made for, say, a Nano 33 BLE Sense on your brand new Nano RP2040 Connect. So you can have this little workhorse up and running within minutes, if you’ve already been working on some project sketches. Plus, it’s compatible with the entire RP2040 software ecosystem, so if this is an upgrade for an existing RP2040 board, you’re good to go. If you’re just getting started on sketches for the device, it offers full support for MicroPython. There's even a free OpenMV license bundled in, for any machine vision projects you might have planned. Go Get Your Arduino Nano RP2040 Connect Yes, there’s a limited supply at launch. We built as many as possible for the first run. But a lot have been sent out to our reseller partners. So head on over to the store right now if you want to be one of the first to get this premium RP2040 board. If you want to stay up to date on all things Arduino Nano RP2040
