Adafruit Panel Mount Ultrasonic (Sonar) Ranging Module with UART Output

This sleek button is actually an ultrasonic sensor designed for panel mount use. Utilizing high-frequency signals, it accurately determines the distance to a surface, making it perfect for use in environments like garages, robotics, or other installations needing a durable dust and weather-resistant solution.The sensor boasts a range of 28 cm to 450 cm with a read resolution of 1 mm, ensuring precise measurements every time. Its durability surpasses many 'raw' ultrasonics available on the market, bringing both functionality and elegance to your projects.Equipped with UART output, it easily connects to microcontrollers or microcomputers via a TTL serial port. For computer integration, simply use a USB-to-serial adapter. Installation is straightforward: red wire to 5V, black wire to ground, skip the third wire, and connect the fourth wire to your serial input pin, reading data at 9600 baud using our Arduino and Python code examples.Note the 0 to 28 cm blind zone; the sensor excels when detecting objects beyond this initial range. Its 2mm pitch connector can be customized to suit various needs, offering versatility in design and application. When seeking dependable measurements in challenging conditions, this ultrasonic sensor stands ready to deliver.
