Let’s find out!
How to Hook Up 2 Laser Rangefinders to Arduino?
The Arduino has built-in I2C (inter-IC) bus capability. This means it can talk directly to devices connected to its serial port without needing any additional hardware.
Hardware installation is simple. Simply attach the LRF to the aluminum mount using two screws. Then connect the LRF to the motor shield using a cable.
