Used with the breakout garden.
Works perfectly with the provided python library, just make sure to remove the film over the sensor!
Within minutes you can start measuring distances and have them update live using the provided examples.

This little sensor works brilliantly. There's a lot of supporting code for it. The way the pins are staggered makes soldering easy. Just remember to remove the protective film! perhaps the one thing that it could change would be to breakout the XSHUT pin somewhere - on the side so it keeps the breakout garden profile.

Need to pull in a surprisingly large code library to get this running, but it seems to work well. Much better than the ultrasonic range finder I was using before.

Lots faster than ultrasonic sensor which is what I needed, but not as accurate.

This thing is pretty neat and fast to respond. It does have issues if there is nothing in its path, as it will randomly jump to something very close, when in fact there is nothing there at all. But if you have something within its range, it detects changes very well.
