Usage
This sensor is ideal for detecting long-range distance to aid in robot navigation and alignment, and can also act as a digital break-beam for detecting the presence of objects.
By default, the sensor operates in I2C mode, allowing output configuration. After configuring, the sensor’s two output pins will provide digital or analog signals, retaining its configuration until it is reset back to I2C mode.
Why Digital/Analog?
Each I2C sensor takes upwards of 7 milliseconds to read, tanking the speed an opmode loops, while digital and analog signals have zero loop-speed impact when using bulk reads. Fast loop-speeds significantly improve PID performance and localization accuracy.
Features
- Long Range Distance Sensing: Measures distances up to 4 meters (13 ft) with millimeter accuracy.
