Purpose:

The code is designed to interact with an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor and a buzzer to

detect objects within a certain distance. When an object is detected within 15 cm,

the buzzer is activated to alert the user.

Breakdown:

1. Include necessary libraries:

○ #define trigPin 9 and #define echoPin 8 define the pins

connected to the trigger and echo pins of the HC-SR04 sensor,

respectively.

○ #define BUZ 13 defines the pin connected to the buzzer.

2. Declare variables:

○ long duration, distance; declares two long integer variables to

store the measured pulse duration and calculated distance.

3. Setup function:

○ pinMode(BUZ, OUTPUT); sets the BUZ pin as an output to control the

buzzer.

○ pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); sets the trigPin as an output to send

ultrasonic pulses.

○ pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); sets the echoPin as an input to receive

the reflected echo pulses.

4. Loop function:
○ Serial.begin(9600); initialises serial communication at a baud rate

of 9600 for debugging and monitoring.

○ digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW); sets the trigPin low to prepare for

sending a pulse.

○ delayMicroseconds(2); delays for 2 microseconds.

○ digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH); sends a 10-microsecond high pulse

to trigger the ultrasonic sensor.

○ delayMicroseconds(10); delays for 10 microseconds.

○ duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH); measures the time taken for

the echo pulse to return and stores it in the duration variable.

○ distance = duration / 58.2; calculates the distance to the object

based on the measured pulse duration and the speed of sound

(approximately 58.2 cm/µs).

○ Serial.println(distance); prints the calculated distance to the

serial monitor for debugging.

○ delay(10); delays for 10 milliseconds.

○ if (distance < 15): This conditional statement checks if the

detected distance is less than 15 cm.

■ If the distance is less than 15 cm, the buzzer is activated 5

times:

■ for (int i=0; i<5; i++): This loop iterates 5 times.

■ digitalWrite(BUZ, HIGH); turns on the buzzer.

■ delay(50); delays for 50 milliseconds.

■ digitalWrite(BUZ, LOW); turns off the buzzer.

■ delay(50); delays for 50 milliseconds.

Overall Functionality:
The code continuously measures the distance to an object using the HC-SR04

ultrasonic sensor. If an object is detected within 15 cm, the buzzer is activated to

alert the user. The calculated distance is also printed to the serial monitor for

debugging purposes.
