hi
I just got this item today
it is not working !!

when I connected it to 5v
the multimeter reading is 5v

this 5v changes >> less reading

but it didn't change it remans 5v all the time

I want to return it and get new one which works perfectly

Could you post clear pictures of your board and the connections to it? And the product number.

Which model sensor are you referring to?

Please post photos showing how you have it connected to your circuit.

the model I used is
IR distance sensor includes cable (10cm-80cm) - GP2Y0A21YK0F


I used the circuit showing in the attachment >> the sensor didn't work
I previously used same sensor same model 2 weeks ago for the same circuit it did work

but for the new sensor there is no signal detection at all
