Grove Ultrasonic Ranger Distance Sensor V2.0

This module incorporates both an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver, functioning essentially as an ultrasonic transceiver. Operating on a principle similar to sonar, it emits a 40KHz ultrasonic wave from the transmitter. Upon encountering an object, the sound wave is reflected back, and the receiver captures the reflected ultrasonic wave. By calculating the time between transmission and reception and multiplying it by the speed of sound in the air (340 m/s), the distance from the sensor to the object can be accurately determined.

In comparison to conventional ultrasonic modules like the HC-SR04, the Grove – Ultrasonic Distance Sensor integrates a single-chip microcomputer. Through time division multiplexing, the transmitting and receiving signals share a single pin, requiring only one I/O pin. Additionally, it supports both 5V and 3.3V, making it directly compatible with the 3.3V I/O of the Raspberry Pi. This is in contrast to the HC-SR04, which exclusively supports 5V and necessitates the use of a voltage conversion circuit when connected to the Raspberry Pi.

Moreover, we offer comprehensive documentation and libraries tailored for Arduino, Python, and Codecraft, facilitating the effortless integration of the Grove – Ultrasonic Distance Sensor with both Arduino and Raspberry Pi. With its wide voltage range compatibility of 3.3v to 5v, a single I/O pin requirement, and the convenience of the plug-and-play Grove connector, we strive to simplify the usage of this module, minimizing the effort required on your part. This aligns with the Grove philosophy that emphasizes simplicity as the optimal approach. We trust that you will find these features advantageous.
