ULTRASONIC DISTANCE UNIT I/O (RCWL-9620), M5STACK U098-B2

Description

The SONIC IO Unit is an ultrasonic range sensing module designed to connect with GPIO (General Purpose Input/Output) pins. It features the RCWL-9620 ultrasonic distance measurement chip, coupled with a 16mm probe. This sensor is capable of measuring distances ranging from 2cm to 450cm, with an accuracy of up to ±2%.

This unit calculates the distance to objects by timing the interval between the emission and reception of ultrasonic pulses. Users can easily obtain distance readings directly through controlling the GPIO pins connected to the sensor.

The key benefit of the SONIC IO Unit is its straightforward GPIO interface, which provides direct control over the distance measurement process. This feature greatly eases the integration of the sensor into various systems and projects, offering versatility in application.

The module is particularly useful in scenarios that require precise distance measurements, such as in robotics for obstacle avoidance or in monitoring fluid levels. In robotic applications, it can detect and navigate around objects within its range, enhancing autonomous movement. For fluid level detection, the SONIC IO Unit offers a non-contact way to measure the levels of liquids in tanks or containers, ensuring accuracy and safety.
