## How to buy

- **Build a cart:** compose `https://core-electronics.com.au/cart/link?items=SEN0590:1` (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/SEN0590:1.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

This laser [distance ranging sensor](https://www.dfrobot.com/category-55.html) has a compact size, comparable to the size of a fingernail, and a measurement range of up to 4m. It is specifically designed to address the issues commonly found in distance sensors on the market, such as large size, slow response time, and poor installation adaptability.

It boasts a range of advantages including small size, minimal blind zone (Measurement accuracy: =25cm@±1cm, >25cm@±S\*4%cm), fast response time (19-38ms), high installation adaptability, dust and water resistance (IP67), long lifespan, and high reliability.

The sensor outputs data through an I2C interface, which allows users to easily integrate it with [Arduino IO expansion boards](https://www.dfrobot.com/product-1009.html).

It finds widespread applications in various fields, including smart furniture with motion sensing capabilities, home security systems, intelligent detection systems, smart control systems, robot obstacle avoidance, and object proximity and presence detection.
