Lesson 12 RoboJuno 1-12-Min

The document discusses an ultrasonic sensor, which uses ultrasonic sound waves to measure distance to objects. It cannot operate beyond the range of human hearing, using a transducer to send and receive pulses to determine distance via travel time and sound speed. Sample programs are provided to control LED lights or robot movement based on distance readings from an ultrasonic sensor.

Input and Output Components

Lesson 12:
ME Ultrasonic Sensor
OBJECTIVES
After studying this lesson, you should be able to:
¥ define an ultrasonic sensor;
¥ understand how ultrasonic sensors work; and,
¥ use an ultrasonic sensor in a program.

A sensor is an input device that responds to its physical environment with specific inputs
like pressure, moisture, light, heat, motion, and other phenomena.

Ultrasonic sensing is a technology used to survive in any lighting environment while


avoiding a robot colliding with other objects. It has greater accuracy than other methods in
measuring the thickness and depth of parallel surfaces.

An ultrasonic sensor is a type of sensor that uses ultrasonic


sound waves to measure the distance to an object. It can easily
detect external or deep objects with its high frequency, high
sensitivity, and high penetrating power.

ME Ultrasonic Sensor

Ultrasonic sensors operate at a frequency beyond the range of human hearing with a sound
wave; wherein, a transducer serves as the microphone to receive and transmit the ultrasonic
sound. To send and receive the echo, it uses a single transducer. Then, by calculating time lapses
between the ultrasonic pulse sending and receiving, the sensor determines the target distance.
This pulse will pass through the air, and it will bounce back to the sensor if there is an obstacle. It
is possible to measure the distance by travel time and the speed of sound..

Using Ultrasonic Sensor on a Project
Sample Program 1

On this program, the ultrasonic sensor is connected to port 3. It is programmed to detect a


distance greater than 15 cm. Once it detects the programmed distance, it will turn the LED lights
red for ON and turn LED lights black for OFF.

Sample Program 2

On this program, the ultrasonic sensor is connected to port 3. It is programmed to detect


the distance of an object greater than 10 cm. Once the program detects the distance, it will turn
right at the speed of (50%) for 1 second, and it would move forward continuously at the speed of
(50%) for 1 second.
