The Ultrasonic Sensor is a device widely used in distance measurement, object detection, and obstacle avoidance systems. It operates on the principle of sound wave reflection. With a compact design and efficient functionality, this sensor has a typical operating voltage range of 5V DC, making it suitable for various electronic and robotic applications.
This sensor emits ultrasonic sound waves at a frequency beyond human hearing, measures the time it takes for the echo to return, and calculates the distance to an object based on the speed of sound. It is highly precise and capable of detecting objects at distances ranging from 2 cm to 400 cm.
The sensor's output is digital or analog and can be directly interfaced with microcontrollers for real-time applications. It is ideal for projects such as automatic door openers, robot navigation, level monitoring, and parking assistance systems. However, environmental factors such as temperature and humidity can slightly affect measurement accuracy.
This versatile sensor is perfect for DIY robotics, smart systems, and industrial automation, offering reliability and ease of integration into your projects.
