Waterproof Range Finder?

Archiver

Hi stampers!
I found a lot of info about various "range"detectors and i wanted to build one
for my robot too. The environment i
am using it gets sometimes wet from springlers and the rain. Is there anyway i
can find a range finder like
Devantech SRF04 Ranger that is waterproof? Any other suggestions will be
appreciated.. The range i want is between
3 cm and 1 meter , i dont mind if it more than a meter though.
Thanx a lot.

Hi Takis,

Rapid Electronics in England has just started selling sealed 40kHz
ultrasonic transducer pairs 18mm diameter, 12mm long. No spec available
but the catalogue says "These rugged and moisture-proof transducers
feature high sensitivity and sound pressure level, with excellent
temperature and humidity durability". I've bought a pair to try out but
I haven't used them yet.

Hope this helps.

John
