Description

This sensor module employs a modulated laser transmitter and a matched receiver tube operating at 180kHz. This modulation technique allows the receiver to selectively detect the reflected laser light, effectively filtering out interference from ambient visible light sources. The integrated boost circuit ensures stable performance across its specified voltage range.

The module outputs a digital signal, making it straightforward to interface with common development boards and microcontrollers for applications requiring non-contact distance measurement or presence detection within its 1.5-meter maximum range.

Key Features

  • Modulated Laser Ranging: Utilizes a 180kHz modulated laser signal for improved noise immunity against ambient light.
  • Integrated Signal Conditioning: Features an onboard boost circuit and output indicator for robust signal integrity.
  • Compact Form Factor: Measures 47.7mm x 17.9mm with standard 2.0mm mounting holes for versatile mechanical integration.
  • Wide Voltage Compatibility: Supports 2.5V to 5.0V DC input, compatible with 3.3V and 5V logic systems.
  • Simple Digital Interface: Provides a straightforward GND, VCC, and Digital Output pin configuration for easy wiring.

Applications

  • Obstacle detection and avoidance for autonomous mobile robots and drones.
  • Pipeline or conveyor belt object counting and presence sensing.
  • Proximity triggering and distance threshold detection in smart home automation.
  • Educational projects for robotics and mechatronics involving laser-based sensing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the output signal type of this laser distance sensor?

The sensor provides a simple digital output signal. It outputs a logic-high or logic-low signal based on whether an object is detected within its effective ranging distance, making it easy to read with any microcontroller GPIO pin.

What is the operating voltage range, and is it 3.3V logic compatible?

The module operates from 2.5V to 5.0V DC. This wide range makes it directly compatible with both 3.3V and 5V microcontroller systems like Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and Arduino boards without requiring a logic level shifter.

How does the sensor handle ambient light interference?

It uses a modulated laser signal at 180kHz. The receiver is tuned to this specific frequency, which effectively filters out constant or differently modulated ambient light (like sunlight or room lighting), improving reliability in various lighting conditions.

What is included in the package for connecting the sensor?

The package includes the sensor module itself and one 3-pin custom connector Jumper wire. You will need to connect this wire to your controller's power (VCC), ground (GND), and a digital input pin to read the output signal.
