Distance sensor

SONAR (Sound navigation and ranging)

2024 - 2025
Objectives

1. Understand the functionality and relevance of SONAR sensors in robotics.


2. Connect and integrate a SONAR sensor and buzzer with an Arduino board.
3. Create a buzzer alert system that responds to objects within a specified range.
4. Construct a radar-like display system using LEDs to indicate object proximity.
SONAR- Working principle

It detects the distance of the closest object in front of the


sensor (from 3 cm up to 400 cm). It works by sending out a
burst of ultrasound and listening for the echo when it bounces
off of an object

Info:
● Speed of sound= 340m/s
● distance= speed / time
● Divide distance by 2
Think & Answer

What tends LED to emit


light?
SONAR applications

Active sonar emits pulses of sound waves that


travel through the water, reflect off the target
and return to the ship. By knowing the speed
of sound in water and the time for the sound
wave to travel to the target and back, the
computers can quickly calculate distance
between the submarine and the target.
Any Guess??
SONAR applications

The Reverse Parking Sensors that are equipped in the car are basically
Ultrasonic Proximity Sensors i.e. they use Ultrasonic Sensors to measure the
distance

Buzzer

The piezo, also known as the buzzer, is a


component that is used for generating
sound. It is a digital component that can
be connected to digital outputs, and emits
a tone when the output is HIGH

Alternatively, it can be connected to an


analog pulse-width modulation output to
generate various tones and effects.

Distance sensor block calculate distance in cm. To use this block you need to select trig and echo pins same
as you connected with arduino

Conditions in programming

Conditions are basic “if, else” logic statements that modify how code is executed. Conditions are a key part
of the decision-making process for computers.

Example
