I’m looking at various distance sensors to measure the plant canopy height in an indoor grow room or greenhouse environment.

The range I need is about 1m - 5m, and accuracy only needs to be within 10cm.

I’m trying to connect to a raspberry pi via i2c, so I would need drivers that supported that.

Is this sensor appropriate? If not, do you sell one you’d recommend instead?

Thanks!

Hi Garth,


Here are the distance sensors list.

Here is our suggestion.

1. You can consider Grove - Time of Flight Distance Sensor VL53L0X(I2C interface without raspberry python code).

2. Or Grove-TF mini sensor, UART interface with python library.
