HC-SR04 Picture

HC-SR04 Specifications power supply :5V DC quiescent current : <2mA effectual angle: <15° ranging distance : 2cm – 500 cm resolution : 0.3 cm 40KHz ultrasonic signal

HC-SR04 There are 4 pins Control VCC , Trig, Echo, GND Control pull the Trig pin to high level  for more than 10us impulse , the module start ranging finish ranging, If you find an object in front, Echo pin will be high level, and based on the different distance, it will take the different duration of high level. So we can calculated the distance easily : Distance = High Level Duration*(Sonic:340m/s)/2

HC-SR04 long Ultrasonic::Timing() { digitalWrite(Trig_pin, LOW); delayMicroseconds(2); digitalWrite(Trig_pin, HIGH); delayMicroseconds(10); duration = pulseIn(Echo_pin,HIGH); // in microseconds return duration; }

LV-MaxSonar®-EZ1 Pictures

LV-MaxSonar®-EZ1 Overview detects objects from 0-inches to 254-inches (6.45-meters) 1-inch resolution The interface output formats included are pulse width output, analog voltage output, and serial digital output.

LV-MaxSonar®-EZ1 AN – Outputs analog voltage with a scaling factor of (Vcc/512) per inch. A supply of 5V yields ~9.8mV/in. and 3.3V yields ~6.4mV/in. The output is buffered and corresponds to the most recent range data.

LV-MaxSonar®-EZ1 Test Example (Sketch) int ultraAn = 0; // select the input pin for the ultrasonic sensor int val = 0; // variable to store the value coming from the sensor int dist = 0; // variable to store the converted distance in inches // VDD Connect to 3.3V void setup() { Serial.begin(9600); // setup the serial port to send the values // back to the computer }

LV-MaxSonar®-EZ1 void loop() { val = analogRead(ultraAn); // read the value from the sensor Serial.println(val); // print the value to the serial port dist = (val*2.1); // converts the analog value to distance in inches Serial.print(dist); // prints the distance in cm Serial.println(" cm"); // prints the distance in cm delay (500); // delays 0.5 seccond in between readings }
