ULTRpo SONIC0 SENSOR

Ultrasonic sensors have 4 pins - Vcc, Gnd, Trigger, and Echo. When a high pulse is sent to the Trigger pin, the sensor transmits 8 ultrasonic pulses. It then measures the time from when the Echo pin goes high after transmission until it goes low again when the pulses return after hitting an object. This time measurement is used to calculate the distance to the object based on the speed of sound.

ULTRA SONIC SENSOR

The working of the ultrasonic sensors is quite simple and they are easy to interface with
the microcontroller. The sensor module has 4-pins out of which Pin-1 and Pin-4
Pin are +Vcc and
Gnd respectively.Pin-2 is Trigger and Pin-3 is Echo pin.The working of sensors can be described
from the below figure :

When a High pulse of 10us is applied at TRIG pin, the ultrasonic transmitter sends 8
consecutive pulses of 40kHz frequency. As the Eighth pulse is sent the ECHO pin of the sensor
becomes HIGH. Now when the ultrasonic waves reflect from any surface and are received by the
Receiver, the ECHO pin becomes LOW. The time it takes to leave and return to sensor is used
to find the distance from the reflecting surface.
Distance in centimetres = (Time/58) cms
In Inches = (Time/148)
(=340m/s
Distance can also be calculated by taking into account the speed of Sound (=340m/s)
