Arduino Distance Meter
https://www.electronics-lab.com/arduino-distance-meter/
Paoson Woodwork @ instructables.com has build an Arduino Based Distance meter using SR-04 Ultrasonic sensors and an LCD display: This a project I’ve been working for some time now. It is a device that shows in a little LCD display the distance to the nearest object it can find, usually the floor, the ceilling and two […]
VL53L0 – Ultra-fast distance sensor
https://www.electronics-lab.com/ultra-fast-distance-sensor/
by Harry Baggen @ elektormagazine.com STMicroelectronics has launched their second-generation distance senor VL53L0, which is based on STM’s popular FlightSense technology. This sensor is suitable for use in smartphones and tablets to make quick distance measurements for an integrated camera, but it can also be used in robots, drones and wearables. Despite its compact dimension of […]
DIY Digital Tape Measure
https://www.electronics-lab.com/diy-digital-tape-measure/
by electronics for everyone @ instructables.com: Today I hope to teach you all about ultrasonic sensors and hopefully by the end you’ll have a nice little digital tape measure of your own to use as you please. This is my second version of this project so if you can get it as small or just don’t feel […]
Analog Ultrasound Range Finder

by netzener @ instructables.com: When I started my career in control systems I was fascinated with the many different ways that machines could be interfaced to the environment they operated in. Limit switches (electrical and optical), encoders, resolvers, strain gauges, thermocouples… the control system engineer had a long list of sensors to choose from. And the […]
Distance Measurement using Infrared Sensor with ADC0804 & 8051 Microcontroller
https://www.electronics-lab.com/distance-measurement-using-infrared-sensor-with-adc0804-8051-microcontroller/
This project primarily consists of four units: Microchip Technology’s SST89E54RDA-40-C-PIE, a sensor unit, an ADC0804 ADC component and the LCD module. Along with detecting an obstacle, its exact distance is also calculated and displayed on a 16×2 LCD interfaced to the microcontroller. The IR receiver detects the IR radiations reflected by the object being measured. […]
