• Measurement range: 0.8 meters (typical)
• Type: Unmodulated laser transmitter
• SKU: ARD0011184
• Price: 12.89 €

What it is for

The laser sensor module ARD0011184 can be used in a wide range of projects, including:
– Creating alarm systems that activate when an object comes within 10 cm.
– Measuring the distance between two objects in robotic applications.
– Controlling the distance of an autonomous vehicle.
Compatibility with Arduino and ESP needs to be verified in the datasheet.

Tutorial: How to use Laser sensor module

The Laser Sensor Module is ideal for precise distance measurement in home automation and robotics projects. Suitable for beginners and intermediates.

What you need

• Arduino or compatible
• Power supply cable
• 1 kΩ resistor
• 4-pin connector

Steps

1. 1. Connect the module to the Arduino using the 4 pins.
2. 2. Power the module with 5V.
3. 3. Connect the 1 kΩ resistor between VCC and GND.
4. 4. Upload the code to the module.
5. 5. Use the `digitalRead()` function to obtain the distance.
6. 6. Check the `distance()` function to measure the distance.
7. 7. Test the module with a simple sketch.
8. 8. Configure the module for your specific application.

Example code

```cpp
#include <NewPing.h>

NewPing sonar(2, 3, 200);

void setup() {
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop() {
  int dist = sonar.ping_cm();
  Serial.print("Distance: ");
  Serial.print(dist);
  Serial.println(" cm");
}
```

Mini project

Create a simple alarm system that activates when an object comes within 10 cm.
