DFRobot URM09_Ultrasonic_Sensor_(Gravity-I2C)_(V1.0)_SKU_SEN0304

Introduction

This is an ultrasonic distance sensor module with open dual probe. It adopts I2C communication and standard interface of Gravity PH2.0-4P vertical patch socket. The module is compatible with controllers with 3.3V or 5V logical level, such as Arduino and Raspberry Pi. The ultrasonic sensor comes with built-in temperature compensation, providing effective ranging within 2cm to 500cm. It offers resolution of 1cm and accuracy of ±1%. There are three measurement ranges designed for programs to select: 150cm, 300cm, 500cm. Please note that setting shorter range will cause shorter ranging cycle and lower sensitivity. You may need to set it according to the actual use.

Specification

• Supply Voltage: 3.3V～5.5V DC
• Operating Current: 20mA
• Operating Temperature Range: -10℃～＋70℃
• Measurement Ranges: 2cm～500cm (can be set)
• Resolution: 1cm
• Precision: 1%
• Direction Angle: 60°
• Frequency: 50Hz Max
• Dimension: 47mm × 22 mm/1.85”× 0.87”

Pinout

NOTE: Compared with URM09 V1.0, the the latest URM09 V2.0 just improved the layout to improve its stability. And the dimension and function of V1.0 and V2.0 is the same.

Tutorial

URM09 is a simple and practical ultrasonic sensor. It adopts I2C communication, which is very convenient to communicate with other boards that is equipped with I2C interface.

Connection Diagram

Connect the module to UNO via I2C interface, shown as below.

Distance and Temperature Measurement on Arduino

The default measurement mode is passive mode. Send ranging command by write register, and then the module will start ranging once after receiving the command(ranging cycle is related to measurement range). When finished the measurement, the read distance register could obtain a distance value. When measuring the temperature, just read the temperature register and then the measured value can be available after simple processing.
