Distance and Proximity Sensors — Ultrasonic, IR, ToF Measure distance with ultrasonic, infrared, and time-of-flight sensors. Use for obstacle avoidance, level sensing, parking systems, and robotics. I2C, UART, and analog outputs. Ships same-day from our Quezon City warehouse. // frequently asked Q: Which sensor for short-range (under 1 m)? Time-of-flight (ToF) I2C sensors give millimeter-accurate readings under 1 m. IR proximity is cheaper but only works for binary near/far detection. Q: Ultrasonic vs ToF — which is better? Ultrasonic covers wider angle and longer range (up to 4 m), cheap, but slower. ToF is precise and fast for short range, smaller package. Q: Will this ship from Manila? Yes — same-day 4 PM cutoff weekdays via J&T or LBC. Q: Can these detect transparent objects (glass, water)? Ultrasonic works for water surfaces. ToF + IR struggle with transparent or dark/absorptive surfaces. Q: What's your return policy? 7-day DOA window. Replacement or refund. Q: Do you have wiring guides? Yes — sample code on our forum and on each product page.
