This sensor is perfect for any number of applications that require you to perform measurements between moving or stationary objects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInterfacing to a microcontroller is a snap. A single I\/O pin is used to trigger an ultrasonic burst (well above human hearing) and then \"listen\" for the echo return pulse. The sensor measures the time required for the echo return, and returns this value to the microcontroller as a variable-width pulse via the same I\/O pin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe PING))) Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is compatible with all Parallax educational robots.
