Distance Sensor(DMS-80)

Introduction

  • DMS-80 is used to detect objects or walls within a fixed distance.
  • The sensor is not affected by color as much as IR Sensors enabling it to measure precise distance.

Compatibility Guide [Controller Compatibility]

Specifications

  • Weight : 4.4g
  • Detecting Distance : 10 ~ 80cm
  • Recommended Voltage Suppy : 4.5 ~ 5.5V

Pinout

  1. VCC(5V)
  2. GND
  3. ADC(Outputs the distance sensing value in analog signal)

Sensor_Output

  • This is a graph shows the analog output voltage on RoboPlus based on the distance changes from white paper which has a reflection percentage of 90% and gray paper which has a reflection percentage of 18%.
  • Even if the color and reflection percentage change, you can see the output value for the distance barely changes.
