Ultrasonic Sonar Object and Range Detection Measurement Display using HC-SR04 Sensor on Arduino ATMEGA 2560

Abstract

Ultrasonic sonar object and range detection measurement using Hc-sr04 display can be use in every application. Ultrasonic sonar popular to use due to low cost, availability, no radiation for human applied in more industry such as medicine, robotic, automation. Ultrasonic sensor is a measurement device that consist of two transducer one for transmitting an ultrasonic wave and the other for receiving the reflective wave. We use HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor can detect lower range from 1cm to 2.5 meter with precession about 0.1 cm and frequency up to 40Khz. The target must be proper orientation and perpendicular to the direction propagation of pulse. The amplitude of receive signal decrease depend on the medium and the distance between transmitter and the target. The transmitter converts electrostatic energy from a vibrating membrane to an ultrasonic waveform whilst the receiver converts the reflected ultrasonic waveform back into electrical energy. This electrical energy combine with motor servo to see the angle of sweeping and ultrasonic waveform using arduino atmega 2560 then be interpreted by a computer display in two dimension for measurement angle and distance of object. Conversion between electrical energy to an ultrasonic waveform use electrostatic transducer or normally we call piezoelectric transducer .
