HY-SRF05 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor Module

The SRF05 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is a versatile and popular sensor module used for measuring distances between objects without physical contact. It employs ultrasonic sound waves to determine the distance to a target object and is commonly used in robotics, automation, and various electronic projects. The SRF05 sensor is equipped with an ultrasonic transceiver, which emits ultrasonic pulses and measures the time it takes for the pulses to bounce back after hitting an object. This time measurement is then used to calculate the distance accurately.
