Dexter Industries Distance Sensor

Dexter Industries Distance Sensor

• Detects distances quickly with 1 mm accuracy.
• Program in Python.
• Compatible with all Dexter Industries Robots.
• Comes with Googly eyes to give your robot a lively look.

The Distance Sensor can be mounted to Dexter Industries robots like the GoPiGo, GrovePi, and BrickPi using the Servo Package to enable rotation. It detects distances from obstacles and objects, giving your robot the ability to navigate. 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.<BR><BR> 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.<BR><BR><B>The Distance Sensor package includes:</B><BR>A cable for connecting the Distance Sensor to your robot<BR>Two googly eyes to give your robots a lively look
