A01NYUB Waterproof Ultrasonic Distance Sensor – 7.5m

Distance sensor modules are fantastic additions to your DIY electronics and robotics projects. The need to measure distance accurately is crucial for many instances like precise designs 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 millimeter. Makers who want to step up their game should consider upgrading their equipment with these super accurate Ultrasonic Sensors. The A01NYUB Waterproof Ultrasonic Sensor is designed to withstand the outdoors and give your DIY project pinpoint proximity detection up to 7.5m.

The A01NYUB sensor works its magic by measuring the time it takes for ultrasonic pulses to travel to a target and bounce back. This sensor even includes a detachable bell-mouth, that narrows the focus of each pulse and allows further distance detection! With an impressive effective ranging distance of 7.5 meters, it's like having a personal distance whisperer. The A01NYUB has been through the trenches, acing long-term tests and receiving constant optimizations. This translates to lightning-fast response times, unwavering stability, jaw-dropping sensitivity, and energy conservation that would make the Energizer Bunny envious.

Whether you're team Arduino, Raspberry Pi, or any 3.3V to 5V device, the A01NYUB plays nice with them all. The best part? Its average current draw of just 15mA means it's perfectly content with the power from your controller's IO port. Equipped with a waterproof and dustproof closed probe, the A01NYUB fearlessly tackles harsh and moist measuring environments. Craft your very own backing car annunciator, whip up an obstacle-avoidance robot that's nimbler than a ninja, or catch objects approaching with the precision of a hawk.
