1 / 6 page ![]() HCSR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Elijah J. Morgan Nov. 16 2014 The purpose of this file is to explain how the HCSR04 works. It will give a brief explanation of how ultrasonic sensors work in general. It will also explain how to wire the sensor up to a microcontroller and how to take/interpret readings. It will also discuss some sources of errors and bad readings. 1. How Ultrasonic Sensors Work 2. HCSR04 Specifications 3. Timing chart, Pin explanations and Taking Distance Measurements 4. Wiring HCSR04 with a microcontroller 5. Errors and Bad Readings 1. How Ultrasonic Sensors Work Ultrasonic sensors use sound to determine the distance between the sensor and the closest object in its path. How do ultrasonic sensors do this? Ultrasonic sensors are essentially sound sensors, but they operate at a frequency above human hearing. The sensor sends out a sound wave at a specific frequency. It then listens for that specific sound wave to bounce off of an object and come back (Figure 1). The sensor keeps track of the time between sending the sound wave and the sound wave returning. If you know how fast something is going and how long it is traveling you can find the distance traveled with equation 1. Equation 1. d = v × t The speed of sound can be calculated based on the a variety of atmospheric conditions, including temperature, humidity and pressure. Actually calculating the distance will be shown later on in this document. It should be noted that ultrasonic sensors have a cone of detection, the angle of this cone varies with distance, Figure 2 show this relation. The ability of a sensor to |
