Easy IIC integration
Connected directly to my Raspberry Pi via IIC. The documentation was clear, and I had distance readings within an hour of unboxing.

Lightweight and accurate
Using the 200F model for altitude hold on a custom drone. It's lightweight and the response time is fast enough for real-time adjustments.

Robust serial mode
The serial mode output is very clean. No noise issues detected over long cable runs. Highly recommended for industrial IoT applications.

Reliable but needs calibration
Great build quality. Had to tweak the calibration settings for dark surfaces, but once configured, it works flawlessly on our assembly line counters.

Good value for money
We use these for non-contact level monitoring in tanks. They perform well, though extreme dust can occasionally interfere with readings.

Perfect for robotics projects
Integrated this sensor into my autonomous rover. The MODBUS communication is stable and the range accuracy is impressive even in varying light conditions.
Q: What is the difference between the 050F, 200F, and 400F models?
A: The number indicates the maximum effective range in decimeters. 050F reaches 5m, 200F reaches 20m, and 400F reaches 40m. Accuracy and physical size remain consistent across models.
Q: Is a separate driver library available for Arduino?
A: Yes, we provide an open-source Arduino library on our GitHub repository that supports all communication modes including IIC and Serial.
Q: Can I daisy-chain multiple sensors on the same IIC bus?
A: Yes, provided each sensor is configured with a unique IIC address. Please refer to the datasheet for instructions on changing the default address via command.
Q: How do I switch from IIC to MODBUS mode?
A: Mode selection is handled via specific configuration commands sent over the interface or by setting the Mode Pin high/low depending on your specific hardware revision. Check the 'Interface Selection' section in the user manual.
Q: Does this module work outdoors in direct sunlight?
A: While the sensor has ambient light suppression, direct intense sunlight may reduce the maximum effective range. We recommend using a shading tube for outdoor applications in bright conditions.
