The Distance Phidget accurately measures distances between 20mm and ~1.3 m. Use this Phidget to measure short distances or detecting objects passing by. This Phidget connects to your computer through a VINT Hub. Features: Distance is measured using reflected infrared light and a time-of-flight calculation. Retrieve data as often as every 30 milliseconds.
