Dos And Donts

Donts

  • Avoid Extreme Temperatures: Do not operate the sensor outside the temperature range of 20°C to 70°C to prevent damage or inaccurate readings.,
  • Prevent Electrical Misconnection: Do not connect the Trig/TX or Echo/RX pins incorrectly to avoid damaging the sensor.,
  • Avoid Obstructing Sensor Face: Ensure the sensor's path is clear of any obstacles within the sensing range to avoid erroneous measurements.

Dos

  • Use Correct Voltage: Connect the VCC and GND pins to a power supply within the 2.4V to 5V range.,
  • Select Correct Mode: Ensure the jumper is correctly placed for selecting between serial data mode and pulse width mode.,
  • Use Correct Baud Rate: Set the microcontroller’s serial port to use 9600 baud at 8-N-1 when using in serial data mode.
Limits

Sensing Angle

  • Description: The sensor has a sensing angle of 15°.

Sensing Distance

  • Description: The maximum sensing distance is 450 cm.

Voltage Range

  • Description: The sensor operates within a voltage range of 2.4V to 5V.
How To Connect

Pulse Width Mode

  • Description: Remove the shunt from the jumper to select pulse width mode. Connect Trig/TX to a digital output and Echo/RX to a digital input on your microcontroller.

Serial Data Mode

  • Description: Place the shunt on the jumper to select serial data mode. Connect Trig/TX to microcontroller’s TX and Echo/RX to RX. Set baud rate to 9600 at 8-N-1.
