Distance sensor with extremely close range?

Post by Jolson »

Anyone know of any sensors that can detect in a range from .5mm - 5mm in tenth of a millimeter increments?

If you mean non-contact, not on the hobby market. Short range distance sensors with micron accuracy are certainly available, but quite expensive. See for example https://www.acuitylaser.com/short-range-sensors/

For contact measurements, you can hack digital calipers: https://www.instructables.com/Hacked-Di ... g-Arduino/
