> **Source:** Core Electronics is an Australian maker-electronics retailer and manufacturer based in Newcastle, NSW, run by a team of makers and educators. We design and manufacture our own product lines (PiicoDev, CE originals) and are official retailers for iconic maker and industrial brands including Raspberry Pi, Arduino, Adafruit, SparkFun and DFRobot. Orders ship Australia-wide from our Newcastle warehouse. Prices are in AUD and include GST. Pricing, stock and dispatch on this page are generated from the store's live catalog.

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/CE09360:1.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) - **Payment methods, purchase orders, policies and contact details:** https://core-electronics.com.au/llms.txt ## Description 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](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/piicodev-ultrasonic-rangefinder-getting-started-guide/) to begin with measuring distance and then remix the code to suit your own project's needs! **Features** - Great Range - between 0.02m and 4m. Most effective between 0.1m and 2.4m - Connect many rangefinders together for more complex projects. - A great [guide ](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/piicodev-ultrasonic-rangefinder-getting-started-guide/)to get you started - PiicoDev connector, compatible with Qwiic and STEMMA QT (3.3V only) - 2.54mm breakout for breadboarding/prototyping - Manufactured and [supported](https://core-electronics.com.au/contacts/) in Australia by Core Electronics **Getting Started Guides** We've prepared a [getting-started guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/guides/piicodev-ultrasonic-rangefinder-getting-started-guide/) that works with Raspberry Pi, Pico, and Micro:bit. **Technical Specifications** - I2C Address: 0x35 (default) or user-selectable - Supply Voltage: 3.3 V - Dimensions: 25.4x25.4mm - Mounting Holes: 4x M2.5 **Resources** - [Hardware Repo](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-Ultrasonic-Rangefinder) - [Schematic](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-Ultrasonic-Rangefinder/raw/main/Documents/schematic.pdf) - [Code Repo](https://github.com/CoreElectronics/CE-PiicoDev-Ultrasonic-Rangefinder-MicroPython-Module) - [Mounting Guide](https://core-electronics.com.au/tutorials/piicodev-mounting-guide.html) Also available are [PiicoDev Starter Kits](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html#category_1322) - level up your projects by learning to use a wide range of modern sensors and outputs. ![](https://core-electronics.com.au/media/aw_rbslider/slides/PiicoDev-Ultrasonic-Rangefinder.jpg) **PiicoDev Overview** [PiicoDev](https://core-electronics.com.au/piicodev.html) is a [![](https://core-electronics.com.au/skin/frontend/white/default/images/ce_original_blue.png)](https://core-electronics.com.au/original) ecosystem designed for rapid prototyping and maker education.
