Read the assembly and coding guide before your first build.
Add a compact distance measurement input to a compatible robot or electronics project.
Functions
- Measure distance for supported projects.
- Use readings to trigger an obstacle response.
- Experiment with serial sensor data.
Components & hardware
Separate laser-ranging sensor module; host controller and robot are not included.
Technology
Time-of-flight ranging with serial communication.
How it works
The sensor emits light and measures information related to its travel time to estimate distance. Your controller reads the result and can compare it with a threshold to change the robot's behaviour.
Specifications
- Kit type: Distance Sensor.
- Control and interfaces: Time-of-flight ranging with serial communication.
- Selected option: Separate distance-sensor module.
What's included
Selected configuration and described hardware: Separate distance-sensor module. Separate laser-ranging sensor module; host controller and robot are not included.
Exact quantities and minor accessories should be checked against the supplier's packing list before ordering.
Suggested skill level
Intermediate — check the host controller, power and connection requirements.
Project ideas
- Trigger a stop at a chosen distance.
- Log distance over a serial connection.
Before you build
Verify voltage, serial protocol, wiring and laser documentation before use. Measurement results depend on target surfaces, distance and lighting; this is not a complete safety system.
