Arduino and US – 100 ultrasonic ranging module serial data mode example

US – 100 ultrasonic ranging module can be realized 2cm ~ 450cm of non-contact distance measurement function, with 2.4V to 4.5V wide voltage input range, the static function GPIO, serial variety of communication methods, within the band watchdog, stable and reliable.

This module is improved, the module itself has temperature compensation, the accuracy of the highest module now clean out treasure, absolute stable, economical, practical 20 * 45 mm module circuit 15 mm thick
US-100 ultrasonic ranging module can realize 2 cm ~ 4.5 m non-contact ranging function, with a 2.4 ~ 5.5 V of wide voltage input range, static power consumption less than 2 mA, bring their own temperature sensor calibration on the ranging results, and has GPIO, serial ports and so on many kinds of communication mode, inside take watchdog, stable and reliable.
