DFRobot SEN0245 Laser Ranging Sensor
Overview
The SEN0245 is a compact laser-based Time-of-Flight (ToF) ranging sensor module designed for distance measurements between 3cm and 200cm. It utilizes an I2C interface for simple integration and operates across a wide supply voltage range of 3.3V to 5.5V, making it compatible with most common microcontroller platforms.
Why Choose This Part
This sensor offers high accuracy with a 3% margin and features a low-power standby mode consuming only 5uA. Its integrated module design simplifies the implementation of complex optical ranging without requiring external circuitry or specialized lens calibration.
Applications
Key Specifications
Getting Started
