RAMPS 1.4 connection with proximity sensor

Hello everyone,

I need some help with the wiring of proximity sensor to RAMPS 1.4.
I'm working on a project using Arduino Mega + RAMPS 1.4 to control 4 stepper motors.
As i need to have a fixed distance between the robot and the obstacle, one motor must be controlled by the proximity sensor.

I was thinking of using this sensor Infrared Proximity Sensor Short Range - Sharp GP2Y0A41SK0F but i don't know how to connect it to the RAMPS or if it is even possible to connect to the RAMPS.

If anyone can help me with this, or can recommend other sensor to connect to the RAMPS, i would be very much grateful.

Thank you and have a nice day.

Arduino/Ramps is able to deal with analog sensors. It's a question of firmware.
I also had good results with ultrasonic sensors. They return digital values, but aren't very accurate.

This sensor will work with Arduino, although you may need a comparator for it to work.

It also has a tough time sensing glass or reflective objects

I would recommend you watch this video: [www.youtube.com]

You might also need a servo to move the sensor left/right like a scanner.
