EXP NO: Arduino Interfacing with Ultrasonic Sensor


AIM
Measures the distance to an object using ultrasonic Sensor and Arduino uno.

COMPONENTS AND EQUIPMENTS REQUIRED


• Arduino uno
• Data cable
• BreadBoard
• Ultrasonic Sensor
• Connecting wires

What is Ultrasonic Sensor

Ultrasonic sensor is an instrument that measures the distance to an object using ultrasonic sound
waves. the ultrasonic sensor uses a transducer to send and receive ultrasonic pulses that relay back
information about an object’s proximity. High-frequency sound waves reflect from boundaries to
produce distinct echo pattern.
The ultrasonic sensor (or transducer) works on the same principles as a radar system. ultrasonic sensor
can convert electrical energy into acoustic waves and vice versa. The acoustic wave signal is an
ultrasonic wave traveling at a frequency above 18kHz. The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor generates
ultrasonic waves at 40kHz frequency, which is much higher than the audible range of human hearing.
The generated ultrasonic waves travel in the air to the target and reflect back to the ultrasonic
sensor.Typically, a microcontroller like Arduino is used for communication with an ultrasonic sensor.
