determinig distance with ir-kit

caningham

Does anyone know if there is any possibility to determine the distance to an object and receive the result in millimeters or centimeters, using the infrared kit?

Peter Verkaik

The output of the IR detector is probably highly nonlineair.
The following url offers a linearization technique that would
be applicable.
