What is an ultrasonic distance sensor？
An ultrasonic distance sensor measures the distance to an object by emitting high-frequency sound waves and detecting the time it takes for the echo to return. It operates on the principle of echolocation, similar to how bats and dolphins navigate their surroundings.
Ultrasonic distance sensors provide precise measurements, are versatile enough to suit different environments, including harsh conditions, and ensure safety and longevity through non-contact measurement. Due to their high accuracy and reliability, these sensors are widely used in various applications. They are commonly deployed in smart cities and automation for waste management, parking lot occupancy detection, and tank level measurement.
