Parallax Inc PING))) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor Development Kit

PING))) ultrasonic range sensor kit

The PING))) ultrasonic sensor is perfect for applications that require you to perform distance measurements between moving or stationary objects. The sensor measures distance using sonar: an ultrasonic (well above human hearing) pulse is transmitted from the unit and distance-to-target is determined by measuring the time required for the echo return. Output from the PING))) sensor is a variable-width pulse that corresponds to the distance to the target. When coupled with the servomotor in this kit, the PING))) sensor can make a 180° scan of its environment and an obstacle map created. Together they're great for autonomous navigation.

Supplied with
