Project Description:
********************
In today’s episode, we will use the ToF10120 Laser Range Sensor module for measuring the distance.
As usual, before I am going to use this sensor in some intermediate and advanced level projects, first I will cover the extreme basics to help you get started with this small tiny beautiful piece of hardware. I performed a series of experiments and displayed the values on the serial monitor and once satisfied, I further modified the code and displayed the measured distance in millimeters and Inches on the Oled Display module. Unlike the Ultrasonic Sensor, this Laser Sensor Module can also be used for monitoring the water level, it can be used in security systems, obstacle avoidance robots, and so on. Anyhow, I continued with the experiments, modified the code one more time, and this time I was able to control a 110/220Vac light Bulb, Make sure you wear protective gloves as 220Vac can be really dangerous. You can replace this bulb with a water pump, or any other electrical device that you want to control. The Bulb is turned ON when the distance is less than 5 inches and remains ON until the distance is greater than 10 inches. While performing the experiments, when the Laser Sensor was facing the camera, I could see this light coming out of the sensor which you can’t see with naked eyes, if you have this sensor go ahead and check.
In this tutorial, we will cover,
1. ToF10120 Laser Range Sensor Module Pinout and technical specifications.
2. Complete circuit diagram explanation.
3. Arduino Programming, and finally
4. Testing
