AO2YYUW Waterproof Ultrasonic Sensor

The need to measure distance accurately is crucial for many instances like precise deigns or reversing your car very close to that wall. A simple ruler is the most obvious way to measure smaller distances, but our human eyes are not accurate to the millimetre. Makers who want to step up their game should consider upgrading their equipment with these super accurate Ultrasonic Sensors. The AO2YYUW Waterproof Ultrasonic Sensor is designed to withstand the outdoors and give your DIY project pinpoint proximity detection up to 4.5m.

With standard operating voltage of 3.3V to 5V, the AO2YYUW Waterproof Ultrasonic Sensor is compatible with a wide range of microcontrollers, like Arduino or Raspberry Pi. The ultrasonic sensor sends an ultrasonic pulse which bounces off nearby objects and returns for the sensor module to measure the distance precisely. The signal processing units are contained inside the module which sits encased in a watertight design. Rainwater or humid moisture cannot seep into your new sensor and ruin your hard work. The AO2YYUW Waterproof Ultrasonic Sensor is ideal for outdoor applications, whether you are playing with obstacle avoidance in robotics or fitting a new reverse sensor to your car.

When compared to many of our other Distance Sensor Modules that we stock, this tiny waterproof proximity sensor really stands out for its simple and useful design. While it doesn’t include all the fanciness of LiDAR sensors or the URM37 V5.0 Ultrasonic Range Sensor, this AO2YYUW Waterproof Ultrasonic Sensor has a charming sleek style and a real-world hardiness for any Makers to enjoy.
