DYP-ME007YS-TX-V2.0 Ultrasonic Rangefinder Module - 28-450cm Range, IP67 Waterproof, UART Auto

This sensor uses an automatic UART (Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitter) serial protocol. It outputs pre-formatted distance data packets over TX/RX lines upon receiving a trigger command, simplifying integration with microcontrollers like Arduino, ESP32, or Raspberry Pi without complex timing or signal processing code.

Yes, the sensor's IP67-rated ABS enclosure provides protection against dust ingress and temporary immersion in water up to 1 meter for 30 minutes. It is suitable for outdoor, industrial, or humid environments, though the sensing surface should be kept clean of debris for optimal performance.

The module operates from 3.3V to 12V DC. This wide range allows compatibility with both 3.3V logic systems (like ESP32 or Raspberry Pi) and common 5V Arduino boards, as well as higher voltage industrial control systems up to 12V.

Connect the sensor's VCC to 5V, GND to GND, and its TX pin to an Arduino RX pin (e.g., digital pin 2). Use a software serial library to read the automatic UART data packets. The sensor sends distance values in a defined format, which your code can parse to obtain the measurement in centimeters or millimeters.

The sensor has a 60-degree beam angle, meaning it detects objects within a wide conical area in front of it. This is useful for general area monitoring but means it may detect nearby objects not directly in its path. For precise, narrow detection, ensure the target is within the central axis of the beam.
