HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor
The HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor is a highly popular and cost-effective distance measurement module designed for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP8266, ESP32, robotics, automation, and IoT projects. Using ultrasonic sound waves at 40kHz, it accurately measures the distance between the sensor and an object without physical contact. It is ideal for obstacle avoidance robots, parking systems, water level monitoring, distance measurement devices, and smart automation applications.
