- We can dispatch 4 today; more stock is typically available with a 10–14 day lead time.

## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=ABX00102:1` (comma-separated SKU:qty pairs) and share the link. Opening it shows a confirmation page with live pricing and stock before anything is added to the cart.
- **Verify the cart first:** fetch `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link/ABX00102:1.md` for live line prices (inc & exc GST, quantity discounts applied), stock and dispatch estimates, and totals. Append `/to/{AU-postcode}` (or `/to/{country-code}:{postcode}`) before `.md` for delivery options and prices to that destination. Unknown, retired, or out-of-stock SKUs are flagged. (Query form `cart/link.md?items=...` also works but some robots parsers refuse query strings here.)
- **Checkout** is completed on-site and includes a captcha at the payment step. Share the cart link; checkout takes it from there.
- **Search the catalogue:** `https://core-electronics.com.au/search/{query}.md` (URL-encode the query; pages 2-3 at `search/{query}/{page}.md`; `search.md?q=` also works)

## Description

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](https://app.arduino.cc/templates/modulino-distance) and a dedicated [Modulino® library](https://docs.arduino.cc/libraries/modulino/) (supporting both Arduino language and [MicroPython](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-modulino-mpy)).
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](https://store.arduino.cc/products/uno-r4-wifi) or Nano boards, using the [Nano Connector Carrier](https://store.arduino.cc/products/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](https://docs.arduino.cc/libraries/modulino/) or [Micropython](https://github.com/arduino/arduino-modulino-mpy), 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](https://app.arduino.cc/templates?tab=arduino) to discover quick projects using the Modulino® nodes.
