Add distance measurement to your Propeller project!

This sensor is perfect for any number of applications that require distance measurements between moving or stationary objects. Naturally, robotics applications are very popular but you'll also find this product to be useful in security systems or as an infrared replacement if so desired. You will definitely appreciate the activity status LED and the economic use of just 1 I/O pin.

The Ping sensor measures distance using sonar; an ultrasonic 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.

Onboard three-pin header allows the PING))) to be plugged into a solderless breadboard (on a Propeller Demo Board for example).
