Obstacle Sensors

Hi, Can you please suggest an ultrasonic sensor which can detect minute objects at 10-15 degree angle

What size would those be?

To be detected, objects must be comparable in size or larger than the wavelength of sound used.

Around 1 mm thick

Then you will need an ultrasonic system with wavelength shorter than 1 mm.

In air that would mean using frequencies higher than (330 m/s) / (0.001m), that is higher than 330 kHz. Range would be very limited.

I need range of 25 inch please advise suitable model

If your internet searches turn up nothing, consider that such an ultrasonic range sensor might not be possible, or exist.

On the other hand, optical range finders work, and may be better suited to your particular task. A 25 inch piece of stiff wire might work too.

Perhaps you could take a moment to describe that task, and your budget.

Can you suggest optical sensor

Not until you clearly describe the task.

How wide and tall?

"minute"!

Well, a minute thing usually isn't much of an obstacle... :slight_smile:
