INTRODUCTION

 INTRODUCTION

The system proposed here is a electronic height measuring system. A smart height measuring
system has been developed in this project. The idea is to make a simple device that consists
of Ultrasonic Sensor. This simple device will be put at the top of any .
This device will help us measure the height with more accuracy and less error and
automatically without help from any person. This device is too easy to make in any home and
its cost is very low.
There are several methods used to measure human height. In this research, we develop a
human height measurement scheme. In our scheme, we calculate the height with the help of
an Ultrasonic sensor.
A height gauge is a measuring device used for determining the height of objects, and for
marking of items to be worked on.
These measuring tools are used in metalworking or metrology to either set or measure
vertical distances; the pointer is sharpened to allow it to act as a scriber and assist in marking
out work pieces. Devices similar in concept, with lower resolutions, are used in health
care settings (health clinics, surgeries) to find the height of people, in which context they are
called stadiometers.
Height gauges may also be used to measure the height of an object by using the underside of
the scriber as the datum. The datum may be permanently fixed or the height gauge may have
provision to adjust the scale, this is done by sliding the scale vertically along the body of the
height gauge by turning a fine feed screw at the top of the gauge; then with the scriber set to
the same level as the base, the scale can be matched to it. This adjustment allows different
scribers or probes to be used, as well as adjusting for any errors in a damaged or resharpened
probe.
In the toolroom, the distinction between a height gauge and a surface gauge is that a height
gauge has a measuring head (whether vernier, fine rack and pinion with dial, or linear
encoder with digital display), whereas a surface gauge has only a scriber point. Both are
typically used on a surface plates and have a heavy base with an accurately flat, smooth
underside.
Height gauges are precision measuring instruments that can be used to determine the height
of an object or workpiece with extremely high precision and accuracy, or to provide marked
locations on the item relative to a reference plane for subsequent use. A similar device to a
height gauge, called a stadiometer, is used in medical facilities such as doctors’ offices to
measure the height of a patient, albeit with much lower precision and accuracy. Height
gauges are primarily metrology instruments that are employed to establish precise
dimensional characteristics and locations of features in a manufacturing or production
operation for quality control.

Electronic height gauges Sometimes called digital height gauges (not to be confused with
digital counter height gauges), electronic height gauges substitute digital displays for the
analog dials and mechanical counters found on the other types of gauges. Electronic height
gauges generally allow the user to select from different units of measure such as inches
versus millimeters.
Height must be established in order to measure statural growth and corpulence.
In adults, height is often measured for use with an index (such as a BMI) to determine
nutritional status.
In adolescents and children (older than 2 years old) the Weight-for-Height index (W/H index)
is used.
With a large base plate and a top spacer, the device enables precise measurement results.
Used in hospitals, prisons and clinics.
The height measuring device is a simple device used to measure the height of a person who
stands under it. This Project is based on the interfacing of Arduino uno , ultra sonic sensor
and lcd display. When someone stands under the device, the sensor measures the distance D.
Next the code calculates the distance H-D which actually represents the height of the person
under the device and displays this value on the LCD. Measuring accurate height of any
object or product accurately & precisely in industries is very important and crucial to
maintain quality and the desired function.

distance of objects that are in front of it .
In the process block section process the workings. The input data received by the ultrasonic
sensor will be sent to the microcontroller. The data received is in the form of digital or
analog signals. The data received will be processed by Arduino Uno in accordance with the
program functions that have been designed and flashed into the ATmega 328 microcontroller.
The output block is the part where the results of the data signal processing in the process
block will be displayed. The output that will appear on the automatic control device for
calculating visitors height in cm is display on the LCD (Liquid Crystal Display). When
someone stands under the device, the sensor measures the distance D. Next the code
calculates the distance H-D which actually represents the height of the person under the
device H and displays this value on the LCD.

 IMPLIMENTAION

The design and implementation of each of the fundamental circuit units and how program
was implemented to control the design and perfume the required functionality is hereby
presented.

 HARDWARE REQUIREMENT :

1. ARDUINO UNO
Arduino is a open source electronics community. It focuses on using microcontrollers
in advance electronics by building microcontroller boards. The board is equipped
with sets of digital and analog input/output (I/O) pins that may be interfaced to
various expansion boards (shields) and other circuits.[1] The board has 14 digital I/O
pins (six capable of PWM output), 6 analog I/O pins, and is programmable with
the Arduino IDE (Integrated Development Environment), via a type B USB cable. It
can be powered by the USB cable or by an external 9-volt battery, though it accepts
voltages between 7 and 20 volts. It is similar to the Arduino Nano and Leonardo. The
hardware reference design is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution
Share-Alike 2.5 license and is available on the Arduino website. Layout and
production files for some versions of the hardware are also available.These boards
uses AVR series microcontrollers for processing and controlling . You can blink an
LED or control an motor etc.

2. 16*2 LCD

An electronic device that is used to display data and the message is known as LCD
16×2. As the name suggests, it includes 16 Columns & 2 Rows so it can display 32
characters (16×2=32) in total & every character will be made with 5×8 (40) Pixel
Dots. So the total pixels within this LCD can be calculated as 32 x 40 otherwise 1280
pixels.

3. HC-SR04 ULTRASONIC SENSOR

An HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor actually consists of two ultrasonic

transducers. One acts as a transmitter that converts the electrical signal into 40 KHZ
ultrasonic sound pulses. The other acts as a receiver and listens for the transmitted
pulses. When the receiver receives these pulses, it produces an output pulse whose
width is proportional to the distance of the object in front. This sensor provides
excellent non-contact range detection between 2 cm to 400 cm (~13 feet) with an
accuracy of 3 mm.

14
  Software implementation

 Proteus simulation :

Code // includes the LiquidCrystal Library

#include <LiquidCrystal.h>

// Maximum distance we want to ping for (in centimeters).

#define max_distance 200

15
// Creates an LCD object. Parameters: (rs, enable, d4, d5, d6, d7)
LiquidCrystal lcd(12, 11, 5, 4, 3, 2);

LcdBarGraph lbg(&lcd, 16, 0, 1); // Creates an LCD Bargraph object.

const int trigPin = 9;

const int echoPin = 10;
long duration;
int distance;
int distance1;
int speakerPin = 8;
void setup()
{
lcd.begin(16,2); // Initializes the interface to the LCD screen

pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
}

void loop()
{
// Write a pulse to the HC-SR04 Trigger Pin
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);

// Measure the response from the HC-SR04 Echo Pin

duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);

// Determine distance from duration

// Use 343 metres per second as speed of sound
distance= duration*0.034/2;
distance1= 180 - distance ;
// Prints "Distance: <value>" on the first line of the LCD

if (distance1 > 100) {

tone (speakerPin, 1000);

} else {
noTone (speakerPin);

}
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
16
 lcd.print("HEIGHT: ");
lcd.print(distance1);
lcd.print(" cm ");

// Draws bargraph on the second line of the LCD

lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lbg.drawValue(distance1, max_distance);
delay(500);
}

 RESULT
Hence we successfully done the project on electronic height measurement device.

 CONCLUSION AND FUTURE SCOPE
 Based on the design, testing and analysis that have been carried out, several
conclusions are obtained. The measuring ability of the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor in
measuring distances can reach about 2 cm - 400 cm depending on the quality of the
sensor.
 While the distance range required in measuring the prototype height only requires a
small-scale distance of 20 cm. In measuring height, visitors must be right under the
ultrasonic sensor, because the sensor is sensitive to changes in standing. Thus, the
accuracy of the placement of the visitor's standing position is needed in measuring
height.
 The height of the visitor and the message whether the visitor is allowed will be
displayed on the LCD.

 we have also use proximity sensor or IR sensor in place of ultrasonic sensor for better
output.
