Poll: Are you interested in roadtesting an Reflective Optical Sensor board?

I was contacted by the sponsor who would like their optical sensor board roadtested. I'd like to get your interest in roadtesting it.

 

tt electronics reflective optical sensor modulex

 

The OPB9001 PCB module takes the versatile and programmable OPB9000 reflective sensor and enhances its capabilities by integrating multiple features into a robust, small form factor for ease of use. The OPB9001 accepts a wide range of supply voltages from 3.3V to 30 V and comes with built-in voltage protection for maximum flexibility and protection. An integrated, industry standard 4-pin Molex connector provides ease of connection while the onboard LED indicators provide overall status during power-on, output and calibration.

 

The OPB9001 is designed for portability in a variety of position and presence detect applications, with a small form factor (188 mm x 12 mm x 5 mm) to fit in even the smallest application spaces. The full-featured OPB9001AC includes a robust Transient Voltage Suppressor (TVS) diode to protect against harmful voltage spikes and is CE and UL certified for maximum reliability under any environmental condition. It is also capable of withstanding up to 8 kV of contact discharge HBM.

 

Factory calibrated for a 12 mm distance and a white reflective surface the OPB9001 can be re-calibrated in a matter of

milliseconds with a single command for specific application requirements. An interface cable can be purchased separately to

calibrate the OPB9001 Series using the OPB9000-KIT

 

  • Wide operating supply voltage range up to 4.5 V - 30 V
  • Detecting distance 2.5 mm to 50 mm
  • Ambient light rejection 25k+ lux
  • Programmable output configuration and sensitivity level
  • Integrated 4-pin connector
  • -40ÂC to +85ÂC operating temperature range
  • Small dimensions L 18 mm X W 12 mm X H 5 mm

    With a 6ms response time, you could use it as a RPM sensor on most motors. Scott

    This looks like a useful device. Is it possible to get the calibration kit for the road test? The datasheet doesn't exactly spell out how to calibrate. Will have to look around for that manual.

    the datasheet says it is for presence detection within 50 mm. I hope it would come with a breadboard friendly adapter for its connector.

    I think it detects obstacles by reflection of light. The distance is relatively small, but there are a lot of applications where this sensor can be used.

    The sensor looks, interesting, with CMOS output and 5V operation(which not all sensors have)

     

    however, I'm not sure what the sensor does.

     

    Does it measure the "reflectiveness" of a surface?
