Distance
Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
- Overview
- Commands
- On-Module Code
This sensor sends an ultrasonic chirp, then it measures the time it takes for the sound to bounce back. The time it takes maps to the distance between the sensor and the object it's facing.

This sample project runs on a MicroBlocks-enabled device that is tethered to this module. Note that this tethered module needs to have the official DUELink firmware and its module driver. See MicroBlocks page to learn more.

Peek under the hood
The script below is this module's driver — it teaches the hardware how to respond to the commands listed above. It ships pre-loaded from the factory; most users never need to open it.
