RGB Ultrasonic Ranger/Yahboom YB-MVU05(Ping)(One Pin)

File:TArduinoRGBUltrasonicPing.png

Summary

One-pin RGB ultrasonic ranger module with integrated LEDs. Measures distance and provides visual feedback via left and right RGB LEDs, with analog and single digital output.

Description

The RGB Ultrasonic Ranger (Yahboom YB-MVU05) detects distance using ultrasonic pulses on a single pin. It includes two RGB LEDs (left and right) for visual indication of distance or status, with adjustable brightness and initial color values. The module supports configurable pause time, ping duration, timeout, and measurement units (cm, inches, or raw time). Outputs include analog distance, a single digital distance output pin, timeout signal, and ping trigger/echo.
