A02YYUW Waterproof Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

The DFRobot A02YYUW is a waterproof ultrasonic distance sensor with a sealed transmitter and receiver (IP67). It measures distances from 3 cm to 4.5 m and therefore suits outdoor use and humid environments, for example the water level in a tank. The processing takes place in the sensor, the distance arrives as a finished value via UART at 9600 baud.

Recommended alternative for short distances from 3 cm: A01NYUB Waterproof Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

Recommended Accessories:

• 95x65x55mm IP67 Plastic Enclosure
• Dupont Jumper Cable Set 20cm 60 Pieces.

Features:

• Water and dust tight to IP67
• Distance as a finished value via UART, no time measurement in the microcontroller needed
• Measuring range applies to flat objects, blind zone 3 cm
• Pin RX selects between processed value and real-time value, procedure in the DFRobot wiki
• Temperature changes the speed of sound, air flows from fans can deflect the measurement (DFRobot)
• Example code for Arduino and Raspberry Pi in the wiki

Application Examples:

• Level in water tanks and cisterns
• Reversing and distance warning
• Distance measurement outdoors
• Monitoring in humid environments
