This Forum is Dedicated For all The Object Oriented PIC Lovers .......... The concept behind OOPic is straight forward. Use preprogrammed multitasking Objects from a library of highly optimized Objects to do all the work of interacting with the hardware. Then write small scripts in Basic, C, or Java syntax styles to control the Objects. During operation, the Objects run continuously and simultaneously in the background while the scripts run in the foreground telling the objects what to do.

[oopic] Sharp GP2D12

Hello All (newbie question)
I'd like to ask two things.
1)Is the diagram on http://www.oopic.com/gp2d12.htm wrong? The
datasheet in the sensors & detectors folder in the files section have
the pinout different to that on the oopic site (as well as the wiring
colours). If I look at mine face-on, from left to right the wiring is
yellow/black/red for Vo/GND/Voc but the website suggests GND/Voc/Vc.
So you see, I'm having trouble figuring out if it even works.
2)Also, does someone have a code snippet (or a known working diagram)
I could borrow to test it? I'm not entirely sure what to read from
the IO line. What does IR.Value produce? So far all I can get out of
it is an integer value of 46. I'm using B.1.0 firmware. How can a
digital IOline read fluctuating voltages? Is it converted to varying
pulses? The code I'm using is below:

'Turns on a RED LED - fishing for a value out of the IR
Sub main()
Red.IOLine = 1
IR.IOLine = 3
Red.Value = 0
ooPIC.ExtVRef=0
IR.Operate=cvTrue
X = IR.Value
If X = 46 Then 'discovered this value by trial and error
Red.TurnOn
End If
Delay = 1000
Red.TurnOff
End Sub
