Great for Robotics
Used this for my sumo bot project. The range is accurate and it responds quickly to obstacles. Highly recommend for beginner robotics.

Arduino Compatible
Easy to read with an analog pin on my Arduino Uno. The voltage curve is consistent once you map it correctly in code.

Needs Calibration
The output is non-linear so you need to do some calibration work. Not plug-and-play for precise measurements without coding.

Good but sensitive
Works well indoors but I noticed some interference under direct sunlight. Perfect for indoor automation tasks though.
Q: Can I chain multiple sensors together?
A: Yes, but ensure you manage IR interference by triggering them sequentially rather than simultaneously.
Q: Can I use this sensor outdoors?
A: Strong sunlight contains infrared light which may interfere with measurements. It is best suited for indoor use.
Q: Does this work with 3.3V logic microcontrollers?
A: The sensor requires 4.5-5.5V power supply. You may need a level shifter for 3.3V logic data lines.
Q: What connector is included with the module?
A: It comes with a JST PH 3-pin connector cable approximately 20 cm in length.
Q: Is the output voltage linear with distance?
A: No, the voltage curve is non-linear. You will need to use a lookup table or polynomial function to convert voltage to distance.
