I DO NOT HAVE ANY EXPERIENCE IN WIRING, PLEASE, HELP. I JUST NEED TO FIGURE OUT WHERE DO THE WIRES GO.
I managed to put together the wavshield because there is a very visual tutorial that showed me how.
COULD ANYONE PLEASE HELP ME, EITHER BY A PICTURE, OR SHOWING ME STEP BY STEP HOW TO WIRE IT?

Here is the datasheet. http://www.adafruit.com/datasheets/gp2y0a710k.pdf Pin 1 goes to ground, pin 2 goes to 5v and pin 4 goes to one of the analog pins 0 to 3. You then need to code the Arduino to read the value and do something with it.

Re: CONNECT A IR Distance Sensor (GP2Y0A710K0F) TO A WAV SHI
I had seen the data sheet, but I do not understand it. There are 5 cables. What do I do with the other two>?
Can you explain it to me with a picture? I'm sorry, I thought mounting this would be simpler, like the wavshield.
I want the code to play a file on the sd card every time a person pases by. Do you know where can I find such code?
I just started to learn about this and c++ all the help will be very appreciated.

Start with the example code for the wave shield and you will learn as you go along. The data sheet has pin numbers. You only need to hook up the ones I called out. Do nothing with any other wires.

I'm sorry, I really don't understand. Sorry for being so dense, but I could really use a diagram.

What pins on the Arduino are you going to use for the sensor? Do you have code already? If so post it. Please use the code button "</>" or
