Description
The US-016 is a flexible ultrasonic distance sensor offering both analog voltage and digital output, making it well suited for real-time distance measurement in robotics, automation, and embedded systems. Its analog voltage output changes proportionally with the measured distance, enabling smooth integration with microcontrollers that have ADC inputs.
Key Features
- Dual output modes: analog voltage and digital pulse output
