Hey
I’m a student trying to make a prototype lamp which uses the same concept as the parking sensor - it will get brighter the closer you are to the light. I was wondering how easy it would be and how to change the kit so that it will dim a light bulb depending on how far away an object is rather than beep.
Thanks
VM125 would be a better choice.
It features an analog output (0…5V) according to the distance.
vm125, i can’t find that, what is it?
Why would this suit better? Isn’t 0.5V too low to run a light bulb or led bulb?

Apparantly, you have no electronics knowledge. That is fine, but maybe you should seek some local help if you attempt to complete such a project.
Of course, 0…5V cannot drive a lamp or led. It is just a translation of distance into voltage.
It is up to you to develop a circuit that interprets this voltage and change the intensity of a bulb/led accordingly. On this forum, we just give hints. Unfortunately, we do not have the time or the means to assist with custom development or to teach electronics.
I wondered where I could order the VM125 kit to get it very quickly in the UK.
Thanks
At our website you can find a list of Velleman dealers !
Does anyone have an insight to what I will need to run a light dimmer from either the VM125 or the Parking sensor? I’ve asked my University lecturers and they have been all but helpful.
Thanks
It is very unlikely that you will get an answer to this question.
Basically you’re saying: “Please, can somebody make my school project”.
It is impossible to answer your question without actually developing the circuit.
The purpose of a school project is that you learn something.
Maybe you should think of a less ambitious project that you CAN complete yourself, you will learn a lot more.
