Ultrasonic distance sensor, US-100

• Operating Voltage: 5V
• Interface/s: Serial
• Arduino Library:
  • new-ping (remove jumper)
  • Example Ping_SSerial needs only SoftwareSerial (insert jumper)
  • PingSerial DOES NOT WORK with TTN-UNO
• Remark: Temperature is measured with the diode on the right side

Miromico GPS TrackerTwo

• Product link

• Quick Start Guide

• AT Protocol

• Miromico slack space for hardware support: Get invitation here

• Instructions to commission the device:

  Press the reset button -the one closest to the FTDI cable-
  to enable the AT command line interface via serial port,
  then type something in the next minute or so,
  then it will turn itself off.
