Garage Distance Sensor

How To Change Distance Parameters

Customizing your parking distance is easy with the SparkFun Qwiic Twist. Here's how to adjust the minimum and maximum distances for the green LED indicator:

1. Initial Setup:
   • The default minimum distance is set to 50mm.
   • The default maximum distance is set to 250mm.
2. Adjusting Parameters:
   • Use the Qwiic Twist to change either the minimum or maximum distance.
   • Rotate the Twist clockwise to increase the distance, or counterclockwise to decrease it.
3. Switching Between Min and Max:
   • Click the Twist once to toggle between adjusting the minimum and maximum distances.
   • The OLED display will indicate which parameter you're currently modifying.
4. Green LED Behavior:
   • The green LED will illuminate when your vehicle is within the set range.
   • Once you go past the minimum distance, the LED will turn off, signaling you to stop.
5. Fine-Tuning:
   • Experiment with different min/max values to find your ideal parking position.
   • Remember, the minimum distance is your stopping point to avoid contact with the wall.

By adjusting these parameters, you can create a custom "sweet spot" for parking your vehicle, ensuring you park at the perfect distance every time. The intuitive twist-and-click interface makes it easy to modify your settings as needed.
