• The ultrasonic sensor provides an easy method of distance measurement. This sensor is perfect for any number of applications that require you to perform measurements between moving or stationary objects.
• Interfacing to a microcontroller is a snap. After a trigger impulse an ultrasonic burst (well above human hearing) is produced and then “listen” for the echo return pulse. • • The sensor measures the time required for the echo return, and returns this value to the microcontroller as a variable-width pulse.
Key Features
• Provides precise, non-contact distance measurements to 4 m range
• Ultrasonic measurements work in any lighting condition, making this a good choice to supplement infrared object detectors
• 5-pin header makes it easy to connect to a development board, directly or with an extension cable, no soldering required
Application Ideas
• Security systems
• Interactive animated exhibits
• Parking assistant systems
• Robotic navigation
