Proximity & Distance

SKU: DF-SEN0523 | Brand: DFRobot

This IR break-beam photoelectric switch detects objects by sending an invisible infrared beam from an emitter to a receiver. When a non-transparent object passes between the two and breaks the beam, the receiver outpu...

The Adafruit Proximity Trinkey is a tiny USB-A development board built around the APDS9960 multi-function sensor and an ATSAMD21 microcontroller. Plug it into any USB port and you instantly have proximity, colour, amb...

SKU: EF-EF03085 | Brand: ElecFreaks

The HC-SR04 is a widely used ultrasonic distance sensor that provides non-contact measurement from 2 cm to 450 cm with up to 3 mm resolution. It uses a 40 kHz ultrasonic transducer pair — one transmitter and one recei...

SKU: DF-SEN0014 | Brand: DFRobot

The Sharp distance sensors are a popular choice for many projects that require accurate distance measurements. This IR sensor is more economical than sonar rangefinders, yet it provides much better performance than o...

SKU: DF-SEN0143 | Brand: DFRobot

This Infrared Proximity Sensor made by Sharp (model: GP2Y0A41SKOF) has an analog output which varies from 3.1V (4cm) to 0.3V (30cm) with a supply voltage between 4.5 and 5.5V DC. This sensor is great for sensing obje...

SKU: DF-SEN0150 | Brand: DFRobot

Ultrasonic sensors emit ultrasonic pulses, and by measuring the time of ultrasonic pulse reaches the object and back to the transducer, the distance of sensor from the target object is calculated. They are widely used...

SKU: DF-SEN0275 | Brand: DFRobot

The MB1040 LV-MaxSonar-EZ4 is a compact ultrasonic range sensor from MaxBotix that provides distance measurements from 15 cm to 645 cm (6" to 254") with 2.5 cm (1") resolution. It features the narrowest beam width of ...

SKU: AF-1031 | Brand: Adafruit

This SHARP distance sensor bounces IR off objects to determine how far away they are. It returns an analog voltage that can be used to determine how close the nearest object is. Comes with 8" long 3-JST interface wire...

SKU: DF-SEN0006 | Brand: DFRobot

The latest model SRF05 Detection range of 3 cm from the original SRF04 -3 m, increased to 1 cm -4 meters. RF04 is compatible with the original. Also has smaller side lobes. Ultrasonic module can be used to identi...

SKU: AF-164 | Brand: Adafruit

The Sharp GP2Y0A21YK0F is an infrared distance sensor that measures distances from 10 cm to 80 cm by bouncing IR light off objects. It outputs an analogue voltage proportional to distance — approximately 3 V at 10 cm ...

SKU: DF-SEN0019 | Brand: DFRobot

This is an Arduino infrared distance sensor. It has an adjustable detection range, 3cm - 80cm. It is small, easy to use, assemble, and inexpensive. Useful for robotics, interactive media, industrial assembly line,...

SKU: DF-SEN0007 | Brand: DFRobot

The SRF08 is an evolutionary step up from the SRF04. It requires less power to operate, has a longer range (up to 6m) and it performs its own internal timing of the return echo. The SRF08 is also fitted with an LDR...
