What’s a distance sensor?

The distance sensor uses a small laser to determine the distance to an object. The sensor uses the Time of Flight method for a very fast and accurate distance reading. The package includes two googly eyes to give your robots a lively look!

Obstacle Avoiding Robots

Distance sensors are great for programming robots that can avoid objects. They do this by measuring the time interval between sending a small invisible laser pulse and receiving the light back, and based on the time it takes, calculating distance to an object. This comes in handy when you are programming a robot to detect objects and find their way around them.

Assembly instructions for the Ultrasonic Sensor can be found on Dexter Industries website, here.
