“Very well made piece of kit, works nicely with my RPI 3. Plenty of example code to drive this up on the web for python and c. Got it going with Domoticz. Would recommend that you take three readings and average them for best results.”
“This was perfect for what I needed (collision detection) and was super simple to use and set up. Also looks better than alternatives that I have used (if not a little big).”
“The use of that sensor is not as easy as many other when you want to use it with the Pi.
From the electronic point of view, you need to set a voltage divisor (two resistances of specific value, one twice the resistance of the other)... I solved that issue by using 3 resistors of the same value and remembering that two in serial will make R=R1+R2.
From the software point of view, this is time sensitive to mesure the distance... I solved that issue by using GPIOZero Python Library (starting from version 1.2) it is transparent and all the complexity is abstracted.
From the hardware point of view, you might want something to attach that on your robot... but it fit well on a breadboard.
All in all, more challenging than an LED of a HAT, but so much rewards in learning and your robot (or alarm) need it.”
