      Hello!
      Does anybody know what speed of sound (or rather speed of sound at what temperature) is used by Ultrasonic Distance Unit (RCWL-9600) to calculate the distance? May be somebody can translate the following notice on that from Chinese?RCWL-9600

        Hello,
        the RCWL-9600 is very accurate.
        You may read the data using a simple function like this:

        #define M5_I2C_ADDR_ULTRA 0x57

        float ReadI2CDistance()
        {
        uint32_t data;

        Wire.beginTransmission(M5_I2C_ADDR_ULTRA);
        Wire.write(0x01);
        Wire.endTransmission();
        delay(120);
        Wire.requestFrom(M5_I2C_ADDR_ULTRA,3);
        data  = Wire.read();data <<= 8;
        data |= Wire.read();data <<= 8;
        data |= Wire.read();
        return float(data) / 10000;  // distance in cm
        

        }
