2.3.8 Read Distance
Through the Ultrasonic Module in its head, PiDog can detect obstacles ahead.
An ultrasonic module can detect objects between 2 and 400 cm away.
With the following function, you can read the distance as a floating point number.
Pidog . ultrasonic . read_distance()
Here is an example of usage:
from pidog import Pidog
import time
my_dog = Pidog()
while True :
distance = my_dog . ultrasonic . read_distance()
distance = round (distance, 2 )
print (f "Distance: {distance} cm" )
time . sleep( 0.5 )
