TheHummingbird Duo distance sensor will reliably detect objects and measure their distance from the sensor - Detect people walking past, create obstacle avoiding robots, or a robot to map out a maze.
The sensor is based on the Sharp GP2Y0A60SZ0F module and can reliably detect objects from 5 to 100 centimeters away. The sensor features a few improvements over standard IR distance sensors:
Range (5 to 100+ cm)
Run off 4.5 to 5.5V by default, but can be switched to 2.7V to 3.6V mode by removing the resistor on the opposite side of the board from the connector.
50 cm braided cable included
Protection diode protects sensor from reverse voltage
The "Distance Sensor (Hummingbird Duo)" is only compatible with the Hummingbird Duo.
