The Unit Ultrasonic-I2C is an ultrasonic distance measurement sensor with an I2C communication interface. The hardware utilizes the RCWL-9620 ultrasonic distance measurement chip paired with a 16 mm probe, enabling precise distance measurement within a range of 2 cm to 450 cm (with an accuracy of ±2%). As an I2C slave device, the sensor can share bus resources with other I2C devices, maximizing IO resource savings. It is ideal for applications such as robot obstacle avoidance and liquid level detection.
Note: When measuring distances greater than 3.5 meters, there may be a slight delay in the distance measurement response.

Question: How to handle excessive echo time or distance measurement failure with the ultrasonic sensor?
If the sensor's echo time is too long or no echo is detected, it may be because the ultrasonic sensor is too close to the obstacle, or the ultrasonic waves cannot reflect properly on certain materials. You can adjust the sensor's working range to maintain a certain distance between the measurement target and the sensor.
