Datasheet
The sensor is small and easy to use in any robotics or interactive project. Since it needs 2.8V power and logic we put
the little fellow on a breakout board with a regulator and level shifting. You can use it with any 3-5V power or logic
microcontroller with no worries. Each order comes with a small piece of header. Solder the header onto your breakout
board with your iron and some solder and wire it up for instant distance-sensing-success!
Communicating to the sensor is done over I2C with some simple commands. Most of the work is handled inside the
sensor itself, so its very easy to port our Arduino library to another microcontroller.
