Plug and play: Provide plug-n-play connector and easy-to-use tutorial
Description
The Grove Ultrasonic Sensor (US5) incorporates the Ultrasonic Time-of-Flight (ToF) principle. By calculating the time it takes for ultrasonic echo signals to travel to different surfaces and back, it enables precise distance measurements.
In addition to its precise measurements, the sensor boasts a compact and miniature round design where is 1.6cm in diameter and 1.2cm in height. Its small size makes it well-suited for applications where space is limited. Furthermore, the sensor operates on ultra-low power, ensuring efficient energy usage and making it suitable for projects that prioritize energy efficiency.
Apart from distance information, the sensor also outputs the echo energy intensity value. This additional data can be valuable for analyzing the characteristics of different materials or surfaces, providing further insights beyond distance measurements alone.
The Grove Ultrasonic Sensor (US5) offers flag bits for material differentiation. These flag bits help distinguish between soft and hard materials, allowing the sensor to identify different ground materials. This capability is particularly useful in applications such as cleaning robots, where the ability to recognize and adapt to various surfaces is essential.
When it comes to installation, the Grove Ultrasonic Sensor (US5) is designed for convenience. Its small size and compatibility with the Grove system make it easy to integrate into projects or prototypes, reducing the complexity of installation and setup.
Application
- Cleaning Robot
- Material Analyzing
- 3D printer level detection
- Home service robot
