Overview

The XT-S1 is a compact optical distance range finder capable of measuring up to 30 meters with high accuracy. It features a dual-interface design supporting both I2C and UART communication for easy integration with common embedded controllers.

Why Choose This Part

This sensor offers a flexible measurement range of 0.3 to 30 meters and supports both active continuous and passive single measurement modes. Its dual I2C/UART interface allows for simple integration with 5V logic systems across a wide 4.8V to 5.2V operating range.

Applications

Industrial Liquid Level Monitoring
High-precision measurement for chemical tanks and storage silos where non-contact sensing is required.
Robotics Navigation
Used as a long-range obstacle detection and avoidance sensor for autonomous mobile robots (AMR).
Security Perimeter Sensing
Detects movement or presence in long-distance corridors or gated entryways up to 30 meters.

Getting Started

Connect the sensor to a 5V power supply and interface via the UART pins (TX/RX) or I2C bus using a microcontroller like an Arduino or ESP32. Set the device to active mode for high-frequency updates or passive mode to trigger measurements on-demand via software commands.
