The Gravity C4001 millimeter-wave sensor is a cutting-edge 24GHz radar presence sensor designed for human detection, distance ranging, and speed measurement. Using FMCW (Frequency Modulated Continuous Wave) radar technology, it offers high precision and real-time tracking in a wide range of environments.
It supports both I2C and UART communication, making it compatible with popular platforms like Arduino, Raspberry Pi, ESP32, and ESP8266. With its compact form factor, wide detection angle (100°), and superior anti-interference capability, this sensor excels in smart monitoring systems, industrial automation, and environmental sensing.
