Steps

1. Check the datasheet for the specifications of the distance sensor.
2. Measure 20mm from the central axis with a caliper.
3. Mount the distance sensor to your project using a brush with adhesive glue.
4. Check the alignment with a level.
5. Verify the grip of the distance sensor with your structure.
6. If necessary, flatten the tips with a hammer.
7. Check the alignment again.
8. Continue with your project

Mini project

Build a sensor support using 4 distance sensors to stabilize its installation in 30 minutes.

Common mistakes

• Do not check the alignment after mounting.
• Use unsuitable adhesive glue.
• Omit flattening the tips.
• Do not check the grip on the project.
