US-100

The US-100 is an ultrasonic distance sensor with a supply voltage of 3V – 5V. It can therefore be operated directly with modern microcontrollers with a 3.3V supply voltage. Views Facts Technical Data Pin Assignment Supply Voltage 3-5V Trigger Echo Ground Ground Special Features The US-100 can be operated in two modes. In serial mode, the jumper on the back is set. …

HC-SR04 Distance Sensor

The HCSR-04 is a widely used and correspondingly inexpensive distance sensor. It determines distance using ultrasound and is easy to operate with common 5V microcontrollers. The datasheets contradict each other regarding the maximum distance specification, fluctuating between 3 and 4 metres. I haven't yet had a module in my hand that reached 4m. With …

Distance measuring sensors

Here, some distance measuring sensors are to be presented. This list does not claim to be exhaustive. Only the sensors that I am currently using in my projects are described. Comparison Here is a direct comparison; further details can be found in the individual sections below. Ultrasonic sensors Ultrasonic sensors emit a sound pulse and then wait for a reflection of the pulse…
