Distance Block

Availability: Late 2010

The distance block can sense how far away it is from an object that it's pointed toward.

Product Description

The Distance block detects how far it is from an object. It uses infrared light and is accurate between 10 and 80 cm. The sensor is directional, so outputs the distance to the object in front of the sensor. At 10cm, the block will output values near 1, and toward 80cm it will output values near 0.
