US-100 ULTRASONIC SENSOR MODULE

Description

The Ultrasonic sensor module is a convenient way for measuring distances from
objects. This module has a lot of applications such as parking sensors, obstacle and
terrain monitoring systems, industrial distance measurements, etc. It has a stable
performance and high accuracy ranging from 2cm to 450cm.

The module sends an ultrasonic signal, eight pulses of 40kHz square wave from
the transmitter; the echo is then picked up by the receiver and outputs a waveform with
a time period proportional to the distance. The connected microcontroller accepts the
signal and performs necessary processing.

How to test

The components to be used are:


Microcontroller (any compatible arduino)
US-100 Ultrasonic sensor module
Pin connectors
Breadboard
USB cable
1. Connect the components based on the figure shown in the wiring diagram using
pin connectors. VCC pin is connected to the 5V power supply, GND pins are
connected to the GND and the Trig and Echo pins are connected to the digital
I/O pins. Pin number will be based on the actual program code.

2. After hardware connection, insert the sample sketch into the Arduino IDE.
3. Using a USB cable, connect the ports from the microcontroller to the computer.
4. Upload the program.
5. See the results in the serial monitor.

Testing results

The serial monitor shows the distance (cm) between the sensor module
from the wall.
