Ultrasonic Rangefinders are great for detecting objects or measuring distance. They rely on echo-location - the same principle bats use to detect obstacles in their environment. These sensors usually require being manually wired into a circuit, so we made the PiicoDev® Ultrasonic Rangefinder: a combination of the ubiquitous RCWL-1601 Ultrasonic Rangefinder attached to a smart, addressable, daisy-chainable PiicoDev module. Use the great Getting Started Guide to begin with measuring distance and then remix the code to suit your own project's needs!

PiicoDev Overview

PiicoDev is a ecosystem designed for rapid prototyping and maker education. The range includes:

Here are some of the features we have baked into PiicoDev:

  • Unified MicroPython libraries. The same MicroPython code examples will work on all supported platforms.
  • Simple-and-expandable connections. Modules can be connected using a 4-pin connector and daisy-chained to expand projects.
  • Breakout pins. Every module has a breakout section for optional advanced uses.
  • Consistent size. We have taken care to ensure modules are consistent sizes so that they easy for 3D printing cases, stacking and experimenting with.
  • Creative freedom. Simmer all of these features together and you end up with lots of creative freedom while still being a hands-on electronics experience.

PiicoDev electronics modules are designed and manufactured in Newcastle. They are priced for makers and education alike (affordable!). Get in touch with us if you have any questions.
