Using your echo-location abilities to detect tasty fish treats. Until genetic modifications catches up with our desires, we'll just have to make do with these handy \u003cstrong\u003e3V Ultrasonic Sonar Distance Sensor \u003c\/strong\u003eand a pair of flippers. These ubiquitous sensors are really common in robotics projects, but they can also be used for automation, interactive art and motion sensing. They work at about 2cm to 450cm away, but we think 10cm-250cm will get you the best results.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThese sensors are fast, fairly easy to use, and low cost. Unlike the more common HC-SR04 series, \u003cstrong\u003ethis model can be powered by 3V \u003cem\u003eor\u003c\/em\u003e 5V\u003c\/strong\u003e and the logic level will be the same. This makes this model great for use with just about any microcontroller or microcomputer. And, its HC-SR04 software compatible so just plug it in and it works the same! (Note the size is different from the HC-SR04 so you may need to make mounting adjustments)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you need a version that also works with 3.3V power and logic, and has a UART output as well as temperature reading, check out the US-100!\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf you want the tried-and-true 5V-only HC-SR04 we have that in stock here.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eYou can use this sensor with Arduino, CircuitPython (for microcontrollers or Raspberry Pi) or MakeCode\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWe carry a large variety of distance sensors here if this fellow isn't what you're looking for.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch2\u003eTechnical Details\u003c\/h2\u003e\u003cdiv id=\"tab-technical-details-content\" class=\"panel-collapse collapse in\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-12 col-md-12 col-sm-12 col-xs-12\"\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage: 3V - 5.5V\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCurrent: 2.2mA\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMeasuring Range: 2cm - 450cm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWorking Temperature: 0ºC to 70ºC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCompatible with HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sonar Distance Sensor\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eProduct Weight: 6.0g \/ 0.2oz \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cul id=\"product-files\"\u003e \u003cli\u003e\nDiagram \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"row\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"col-lg-2 col-md-3 col-sm-3 col-xs-4\"\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"The Pi Hut","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53697531183380,"sku":"mvq1787257925689","price":2.46,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0946\/9486\/7220\/files\/ultrasonic-distance-sensor---3v-or-5v---hc-sr04-compatible-rcwl-1601_1.jpg?v=1787257930","url":"https:\/\/regalwearstore.shop\/products\/ultrasonic-distance-sensor-3v-or-5v-hc-sr04-compatible-rcwl-1601","provider":"My Store","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
