A compact distance sensor with a measurement range of 10–180 cm, featuring both UART and I2C output interfaces. It operates on 3–5 V, making it compatible with Arduino and other microcontrollers. The sensor includes high-speed auto-focus for accurate distance readings.

Key Features

  • Measurement Range – 10–180 cm
  • Output Interfaces – UART and I2C
  • Operating Voltage – 3–5 V
  • Cable – 1.0 mm pitch, 6-pin, 20 cm long
  • Auto-focus – High-speed continuous auto-focus

Arduino Connection

  • UART – Connect RXD to TXD and TXD to RXD
  • I2C – Connect to A4 (SDA) and A5 (SCL)
Note: When using UART mode, disconnect A4 and A5. Upload your Arduino sketch before connecting the module, then reconnect after upload is complete. Use one communication mode at a time (UART or I2C, not both simultaneously).

Ideal For

  • Robot obstacle detection
  • Cleaning robot navigation
  • Human body detection and proximity sensing
  • Amusement equipment and interactive installations

Package Contents

  • 1× Distance sensor module with cable

Jargon buster

Plain-language definitions for the technical terms used above.

I2C
I2C is a two-wire communication bus used by many sensors and small modules. It matters because several I2C devices can share the same two wires, but each device needs a compatible address and your controller must support I2C.
SCL
The clock line used by the I2C bus to keep data transfers timed between a controller and connected devices. When wiring I2C, SCL must be connected to the SCL pin on every device sharing the bus.
SDA
The data line used by the I2C bus to carry information between a controller and connected devices. When wiring I2C, SDA must be connected to the SDA pin on every device sharing the bus.
UART
UART is a simple asynchronous serial interface that sends data over separate transmit and receive wires, usually labelled TX and RX, with both ends set to the same baud rate. It is a common way for microcontrollers and other serial devices to exchange data.
