VL53L0X Distance Sensor Features The VL53L0X sensor is a laser rangefinder. First, the sensor sends a laser pulse, and the distance from object to the sensor is estimated by measuring the travel time of the laser pulse. Due to the very high speed of light, this sensor is not used in applications less than a millimeter. This module can measure a maximum distance of 2 meters. The operating voltage is 2.8 to 5 volts and it uses the I2C protocol to communicate with the microcontroller. You can down...

GP2Y0A21YK0F Infrared Sensor Features Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F is an IR sensor useing infrared wave to measure distance. The output of the sensor is analog voltage, which can be read easily by microcontroller’s ADC converter. This sensor can be used in industry and especially in robotics. The efficient range of this module is 10 to 80 cm. Note This module’s data is incorret at distances of less than 10 cm and more than 80 cm. You can download the datasheet of this sensor here.  [wpdm_package ...

US-100 Distance Sensor Features The US-100 is an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver module used to measure distance. The sensor operation is very simple. You only need to measure the return time of ultrasonic waves in order to measure the distance. Then you can divide this time by 2 and multiplied by the sound speed. The sensor measuring range is about 2 to 450 cm. Note The US-100 module has 2 different communication protocol. Method 1: use serial communication Method 2: use Trigger and Echo (similar to ...

SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Features The SRF04 ultrasonic distance sensor can be used to measure distance with high accuracy. The basic working principle of this sensor is that it produces a high-level signal and sends it to the obstacle. Then the receiver detects the returned wave. The time between the transmission and reception of the signal allows us to calculate the distance to an object. Note When the Trig pin is set High, the sensor generates and sends ultrasonic sound. At that moment the Ech...
