Depending on your power source, you might notice an increase in performance by placing a large (\u0026gt;10 uF) capacitor between power and ground somewhere near the sensor.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eA red LED on the back of the PCB lights when the output is low, indicating that the sensor is detecting something. With the LED in the circuit, the low output signal will be around 1 V. If so desired, you can disable this LED by cutting the trace between it and the OUT pin where it is marked on the silkscreen or by desoldering the LED, in which case the low voltage will be below 0.6 V.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe GP2Y0D810 has an optional enable input that can be used to put the sensor into low-power mode. The Pololu carrier board connects this input to Vcc so that the sensor is always enabled, but you can solder a wire to the pad labelled “enable” on the back of the PCB if you want control over this input. Note that you will need to cut the trace that connects the enable line to Vcc on the PCB if you want to be able to disable the sensor. This trace is marked on the silkscreen, and there is a caret that indicates where we suggest you make the cut.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe carrier board has a 0.086″ mounting hole for a #2 or M2\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003escrew.
