Arduino HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor and Processing

Parts Required:

– Arduino NANO v3.0
– HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor
– Wires to connect it all together

Connect the components and wires as shown in the two pictures.

Information:

The module includes ultrasonic transmitters, receiver, and control circuit in a single package.

Arduino Code:

// Example by Hisham Marzouk

//Officialhrm.com

int trigPin = 2;//Trig – green Jumper

int echoPin = 3; //Echo – yellow Jumper

long duration, cm, inches;

void setup() {

Serial.begin (9600);

pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);

pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);

}

void loop() {

digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);

delayMicroseconds(5);

digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);

delayMicroseconds(10);

digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);

pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);

duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);

cm = (duration/2) / 29.1;

inches = (duration/2) / 74;

Serial.print(cm);

Serial.println();

delay(350); }
