About this item
🔵 RCWL-1605 Ultrasonic Module – Integrated Transmitter & Receiver with GPIO and I²C 🔵
💡 The RCWL-1605 is a compact ultrasonic module that integrates both transmitter and receiver on a single board.
It can measure distances, detect objects, and enable interactive systems via a digital GPIO output or an I²C serial interface.
Perfect for Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and smart sensing projects.
⚙️ How It Works
- The module emits a 40 kHz ultrasonic pulse through its built-in transducer.
- The receiver captures the reflected echo from an object.
- The internal circuit processes the signal and provides:
- a GPIO digital output (high/low depending on detection),
- or I²C data for more precise distance measurement.
