MOD-LTR501ALS

The MOD-LTR501ALS Expansion Board is an integrated optical proximity sensor expansion board designed for use with the Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and ARM boards. This module is designed for applications that require a digital measure of distance between objects, and is capable of up to 7.8” of distance range. The MOD-LTR501ALS is easy to use, simple to install, and incredibly safe to use in industrial and consumer projects. Its narrow sensing range allows it to accurately identify objects within a 1.4” area. It is also easy to integrate into existing projects without breaking any existing code. The MOD-LTR501ALS is perfect for robotics, security, automation, automotive, home automation, and other projects that require a reliable proximity measure.

The MOD-LTR501ALS expansion board comes with a range of features, including an adjustable 7.8” laser diode, an array of digital output pins, and adjustable sensing distance of up to 4.7”. It includes a regulated 3.3V power supply, and an external logic supply voltage of 1.8V-3.3V DC. It also features an adjustable LED backlight which allows for even distribution of the laser beam. Additionally, it has an on-board voltage regulator, allowing it to be used with a variety of voltage sources, from 3.3V to 15V.

The MOD-LTR501ALS Expansion Board is an excellent choice for robotic, home automation, and other applications requiring a reliable, accurate proximity measure. Its adjustable range is ideal for many applications, including obstacle detection and avoidance, precise object distance measurements, and the lining of shelving and objects. The 3.3V – 15V voltage range and adjustable LED backlight make it versatile for a wide array of projects. In addition, its low power consumption and user-friendly setup make it ideal for any project.

The MOD-LTR501ALS Expansion Board also features a working principle based on photo-electricity. It works by emitting a light beam from the laser diode. This light beam is then reflected off of an object and back to the photodiode. This reflected light creates an electric signal, which is then translated into a digital reading on the board’s output pin. This digital reading is an indication of the distance between the board and the object.

The MOD-LTR501ALS Expansion Board is a highly versatile and user-friendly solution for any project that requires precise, reliable proximity measures. Its range, power consumption, adjustable backlight, and digital output make it ideal for robotic, home automation, and other applications. Additionally, its working principle makes it easy to integrate into existing projects and code, and its adjustable range makes it suitable for a variety of applications. It is a perfect choice for those looking for a safe and reliable way to measure distance.
