Overview
The JRT MB2D42U USB/TTL Laser Distance Sensor Module is a compact optical distance measuring module designed for integration into instruments and automation systems. It offers a 0.03~40 m measuring range at 20 Hz with ±2 mm accuracy and 1 mm resolution. The module uses a Class II laser (620~690 nm, <1 mW) and supports USB and UART TTL interfaces for easy setup and continuous measurement. Model variants and identifiers include MB2D42U and MB2D42-USB-231117 (manufacturing date code: 231117). Brand: JRT.
