“Setup is not as easy as other pimoroni hats. I had to email support twice before I got it running issues with python 2/3 and not finding the libraries. At the wend the code was running the sensor did not work correctly at distances more than 50 cm. I assume I got a dud...”
“This is a great little board which I decided to get as it measures further than my other ToF sensors, up to 4m in fact. I should mention one thing though, in case others have the trouble I had with distance readings going very strange, especially for longer distances. Basically, the sensor I got had a tiny bit of coloured plastic over the lenses, presumably for protection in transit. Caused some frustration for a while, but once removed it started working perfectly :-)”
“This laser distance sensor is much more accurate than an ultrasonic one and very suitable for robotics projects. Measurements are also accurate when the object surface is in an angle position (which is a problem with ultrasound).”
