SparkFun Ultrasonic Distance Sensor - TCT40 (Qwiic)

The SparkFun Qwiic Ultrasonic Distance Sensor, a user-friendly upgrade to the popular HC-SR04 sensor, offers non-contact distance measurement from 2cm to 400cm with an accuracy of 3mm. This sensor is designed to seamlessly integrate with the Qwiic ecosystem for I2C communication, making it a breeze to add to your existing projects and daisy-chain with other Qwiic components.

If you prefer to bypass the Qwiic connector and I2C, you can also access the VCC, Trigger, Echo, and Ground pins broken out on the board's edge. Please be aware that this ultrasonic sensor comes uncalibrated, and you will need to manipulate the raw output for your specific application.

With its wide range of applications, the SparkFun Qwiic Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is a versatile tool for robotics projects, obstacle avoidance systems, and any application that requires accurate distance measurement without physical contact. Its adaptability makes it a valuable addition to your toolkit.

The SparkFun Qwiic Connect System is an ecosystem of I2C sensors, actuators, shields and cables that make prototyping faster and less prone to error. All Qwiic-enabled boards use a common 1mm pitch, 4-pin JST connector. This reduces the amount of required PCB space, and polarized connections mean you can’t hook it up wrong.

Core Skill: Programming

If a board needs code or communicates somehow, you're going to need to know how to program or interface with it. The programming skill is all about communication and code.

2 Programming

Skill Level: Rookie - You will need a better fundamental understand of what code is, and how it works. You will be using beginner-level software and development tools like Arduino. You will be dealing directly with code, but numerous examples and libraries are available. Sensors or shields will communicate with serial or TTL.

Core Skill: Electrical Prototyping

If it requires power, you need to know how much, what all the pins do, and how to hook it up. You may need to reference datasheets, schematics, and know the ins and outs of electronics.

2 Electrical Prototyping

Skill Level: Rookie - You may be required to know a bit more about the component, such as orientation, or how to hook it up, in addition to power requirements. You will need to understand polarized components.
