Modulino® Distance allows you to sense and measure distance so your projects can interact with the world around them.

The Arduino Modulino® collection includes a variety of plug-and-play smart components that transform complex electronics into simple, interactive projects with minimal code and maximum creativity.
Discover a new generation of ready-to-use sensors and actuators that simplify any build. Designed for makers, educators, and professionals, Modulino® nodes connect effortlessly via Qwiic cables and work together as a unified system thanks to daisy-chain technology.

Start easy, advance quickly

Both beginners and experienced developers can implement sophisticated features thanks to preconfigured Arduino Cloud templates and a dedicated Modulino® library (supporting both Arduino language and MicroPython).
And after the first project is done? Consistent design across all Modulino® nodes gives you the flexibility to swap them and integrate them into a variety of new ideas, while breakout pins allow advanced users to push customization further.

Key benefits

Plug-and-play connectivity:
Quickly connect Modulino® nodes to Arduino® UNO R4 WiFi or Nano boards, using the Nano Connector Carrier for fast, reliable integration.
Robust, ready-to-use design:
Preassembled, compact modules built to support demanding edge IoT projects.
Effortless expansion:
Easily add new sensors, actuators, or controllers without redesigning your hardware.
Seamless Arduino ecosystem integration:
Leverage Arduino software, Cloud tools, and community support to accelerate development.

FAQ

What kind of data can I expect to read from a Modulino® Distance?

You can expect to read the measured distance between the Modulino® Distance and the nearest obstacle, reported in millimeters (mm).

Is a QWIIC cable included with the Modulino® node?

Yes, each Modulino® node is packaged with a 5 cm QWIIC cable, so you can get started right away.

Are the Modulino® nodes compatible with other QWIIC devices?

Yes, the Modulino® nodes are designed to be compatible with other devices that adhere to the QWIIC standard and operate at 3.3V. Always double-check the voltage compatibility of any QWIIC devices you intend to use together.

What voltage do the Modulino® nodes operate at?

The Modulino® nodes are designed to operate at 3.3V. Ensure that your microcontroller or other QWIIC devices provide this voltage level to avoid damage.

Do I need any special libraries to use the Modulino® nodes with Arduino?

Yes, you'll need to install the Modulino® library either for Arduino language or Micropython, which provides functions and examples to easily interact with the nodes.

Are there any example sketches available to help me get started?

Yes, the Modulino® library, for both Arduino code and micropython, includes several example sketches that demonstrate basic functionality. You can also use the Arduino Cloud templates to discover quick projects using the Modulino® nodes.
