Distance Element
Use it in a remote‐controlled car to stop it from going too close to an object or use it to calculate the area of a room. Program the Plezmo Distance so that the Plezmo Light turns on when someone approaches the door.
Find out how far something is with the Plezmo Distance Element. It can measure distances up to 1 meter/ 3 feet or 100 centimeters.
