Re: Sharp IR distance sensors

Thanks for that tip, Jason. I saw in the datasheet that mirrors could cause a problem. I had assumed the diamond plate would be OK. I was wanting to use IR for that to avoid the more likely chance of interference from others Ultrasonic. I plan to experiment with both, however, today as a matter of fact. Now I've got to find some diamond plate..I wonder if aluminum foil would be a good substitute.
