Introduction: ULTRASONIC DISTANCE METER
Hello everyone;
I am Amey, welcome to my channel
Today, I am building another cool project which is Measuring tape with the help of ultrasonic sensor and Arduino. So, lets' make it.
Step 1: Components
1. Arduino Uno
2. ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04)
3. 16 x 2 lcd
4. I2C module for LCD (Optional)
5. Laser
6. 7805
7. 9v Battery
Step 2: WORKING
This project is really simple. I
am using an ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04) which work on principle of doppler effect
Ultrasonic sensors work by emitting sound waves at a frequency too high for humans to hear. They then wait for the sound to be reflected back, calculating distance based on the time required. This is similar to how radar measures the time it takes a radio wave to return after hitting an object
For converting this into the distance
here the formula
distance=T*340/20000
where T is time required for wave to reflect back from object
Step 3: CIRCUIT DIAGRAM
IN this project I use a custom made PCB you can use simple Arduino Uno in place for this
I also use i2c LCD adapter you can skip it
if you want the PCB file than comment down bellow
In above Images I use different Arduino because I cant find Arduino Uno in software so simply do connection as per image but with Arduino Uno
Step 4: Code (with I2c Adapter)
#include
#include
#define trigger 18
#define echo 19
LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);lcd.begin();
float time=0,distance=0;
void setup()
{
lcd.begin(16,2);
pinMode(trigger,OUTPUT);
pinMode(echo,INPUT);
lcd.print(" Ultra sonic");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("Distance Meter");
delay(2000);
}
void loop()
{
lcd.clear();
digitalWrite(trigger,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
digitalWrite(trigger,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(trigger,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
time=pulseIn(echo,HIGH);
distance=time*340/20000;
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Distance:");
lcd.print(distance);
lcd.print("cm");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("Distance:");
lcd.print(distance/100);
lcd.print("m");
delay(1000);
}
Step 5: Code (without I2c Adapter)
#include
#include #define trigger 18 #define echo 19 LiquidCrystal_I2C lcd(0x27, 16, 2);lcd.begin();
float time=0,distance=0;
void setup()
{
lcd.begin(16,2);
pinMode(trigger,OUTPUT);
pinMode(echo,INPUT);
lcd.print(" Ultra sonic");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("Distance Meter");
delay(2000);
}
void loop()
{
lcd.clear();
digitalWrite(trigger,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
digitalWrite(trigger,HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(trigger,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
time=pulseIn(echo,HIGH);
distance=time*340/20000;
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Distance:");
lcd.print(distance);
lcd.print("cm");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("Distance:");
lcd.print(distance/100);
lcd.print("m");
delay(1000);
}
Step 6: COMPLETED!!!!!!!
