It is designed for higher ranging accuracy and faster response than typical infrared and ultrasonic modules, and supports three connection methods: PH2.0 cable, DuPont line, and alligator clips. It is compatible with Arduino, STM32, Raspberry Pi and other controllers for drone height sensing, robot obstacle avoidance, and general distance detection.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eSupport is
