Phidget VINT Distance Sensor (650mm)

• Phidget VINT Distance Sensor
• Features a smart device - infrared time-of-flight sensor
• Is controlled by a VINT Hub
• Measure distances up to 650 mm

The Phidget VINT Distance Sensor uses infrared light and a time-of-flight calculation to determine how far away an object is. It can report the distance of the object it's pointed at as often as every 30 milliseconds, and will throw a out-of-range event when the distance exceeds the sensor's maximum range. Since infrared light is what it uses for the measurement, highly reflective objects will be easier to measure.

This Phidget is a smart device that must be controlled by a VINT Hub. Use a Phidget cable to connect this device to the hub. You can solder multiple cables together in order to make even longer Phidget cables, but you should be aware of the effects of having long wires in your system.
