Distance Measurement Using Ultrasonic Sensor and Arduino

The document describes a distance measurement system using an ultrasonic sensor and Arduino. It uses an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor to emit and receive ultrasonic waves and calculate the distance to an object based on the time it takes for the waves to return. The sensor is interfaced with an Arduino board to precisely measure distances. It can be used as a range finder or proximity detector in various industrial applications. The system provides an efficient digital way to accurately measure small distances.

Distance Measurement using Ultrasonic Sensor and

Arduino

Abstract:
The project is designed to develop distance measurement system using ultrasonic
waves and interfaced with Arduino. We know that human audible range is 20 Hz
to 20 kHz. We can utilize these frequency range waves through ultrasonic sensor
HC-SR04.The advantages of this sensor when interfaced with Arduino which is
a control and sensing system, a pro per distance measurement can be made with
new techniques. As large amounts are spent for hundreds of inflexible circuit
boards, the Arduino will allow business to bring many more unique devices. This
distance measurement system can be widely used as range meters and as
proximity detectors in industries. The hardware part of ultrasonic sensor is
interfaced with Arduino. This method of measurement is efficient way to measure
small distances precisely. The distance of an obstacle from the sensor is measured
through ultrasonic sensor. After knowing the speed of sound the distance can be
calculated.

INTRODUCTION
Today’s the developing world shows various adventures in every field. In each
field the small requirements are very essential to develop big calculations. By
using different sources we can modify it as our requirements and implement in
various field. In earlier days the measurements are generally occur through
measuring devices. But now a day’s digitalization as is on height. Therefore we
use a proper display unit for measurement of distance. We can use sources such
as sound waves which are known as ultrasonic waves using ultrasonic sensors
and convert this sound wave for the measurement of various units such as
distance, speed. This technique of distance measurement using ultrasonic in air
includes continuous pulse echo method, a burst of pulse is sent for transmission
medium and is reflected by an object kept at specific distance. The time taken for
the sound wave to propagate from transmitter to receiver is proportional to the
distance of the object. In this distance measurement system we had ultrasonic
sensor HC-SR04 interfaced with Arduino UnoR3.
Here are the needed part:

 1 x Arduino Uno Board


 1 x HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor
 1 x LCD with I2C converter
 Jumper wires

ARDUINO –AT MEGA328 the Arduino Uno is a microcontroller board based


on the ATmega328 (datasheet). It has 14 digital input/output pins (of which 6 can
be used as PWM outputs), 6 analog inputs, a 16 MHz crystal oscillator, a USB
connection, a power jack, an ICSP header, and a reset button. It contains
everything needed to support the microcontroller; simply connect it to a computer
with a USB cable or power it with an AC-to-DC adapter or battery to get started
ULTRASONIC S ENSOR-SR04 It emits an ultrasound at 40 000 Hz which
travels through the air and if there is an object or obstacle on its path It will bounce
back to the module. Considering the travel time and the speed of the sound you
can calculate the distance
LCD-16*2 LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) screen is an electronic display module
and find a wide range of applications. A 16x2 LCD display is very basic module
and is very commonly used in various devices and circuits. These modules are
preferred over seven segments and other multi segment LEDs. The reasons being:
LCDs are economical; easily programmable; have no limitation of displaying
special & even custom characters (unlike in seven segments), animations and so
on. A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and there are 2 such
lines. In this LCD each character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. This LCD has
two registers, namely, Command and Data
CONCLUS ION
Distance measurement using ultrasonic sensor and Arduino consist of a
transmitter part of ultrasonic module unit’s ultrasonic high frequency waves in
the form of polices after collision of these wares with any object, these wares
detected by microphone time taken by these wares from transmitter and receiver
is used to measure distance from any object. We had used an ultrasonic sensor
module of HC-SR04, because this ultrasonic module is initiated with pulse of
10us the distance from any object is calculated from. Distance =speed*time the
human audible range can be converted measure the distance precisely manner.
