This sensor uses ultrasonic signals to detect the distance of any object in front of it. It is designed for easy modular project usage with industrial performance.

Easily interface with this sensor using its 4 pins, VCC (high voltage from your arduino board), Trig (sends out the ultrasonic signal), Echo (recieves the ultrasonic signal sent by trig for measurement) , GND (ground from your arduino board). To start ranging, pull the Trig pin to high for more than 10us, based on how high the Echo pin's value is, you can tell how far the object in front of the sensor is.

  • Supply voltage: 5V
  • Current: 15mA
  • Detecting Range: 3cm - 400cm / 1.2 inches to 13.1 feet
  • Resolution: 0.3cm
  • Ultrasonic Frequency: 40kHz
  • Detecting Angle: 30°
  • Arduino Compatible
  • Pulse in/pulse out communication
  • Breadboard friendly

Can I use this to detect the distance from my hand to the sensor to build a theremin controlled by an UNO R3?
Yes
