Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 Module Guide

This document provides details about a student project to develop a general-purpose module to interface an ultrasonic sensor with microcontrollers. The project is being undertaken by three students - Ajay Victor, Pramod Keshav, and Prashant B. as part of their team Kirchoff's Electrical Society. The module will help implement the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor in projects requiring distance measurement between two objects in a versatile manner. The objectives are to learn how to design custom modules and interfaces for sensors. The expected outcome is a working sensor module for HC-SR04 that can serve as a template for interfacing other sensors as well.

Introduction to the project :

<Include motivation and an introduction to project>


Our project will be based on the function of the ultrasound sensor HC SR04. This is the most
commonly used sensor in robotics projects for the purpose of obstacle avoidance. Due to
2
simplicity and versatility it is easy to use and can be used in any project where the distance
between 2 objects is to be determined.
In this project we would be developing a general-purpose module that can be used to interface
the HC SR04 with any microcontroller. This module would help provide versatility and help
implement the sensor in our project as per our requirements.

Statement of objectives (Outcomes/deliverables) of the project:

Objectives: (What do we learn in the process?)


We hope to how to implement our own modules and interface for any given sensors so that we would
be able to design our own functions and implementation’ s according to the needs of a particular project.
3
Outcome: (measurable. This is what you will show at the end of project)
 At the end of this project we hope to have implemented our own sensor modules for the
ultrasound sensor HC SR04 and also be able to do the same given any other sensors.

Technical Brief:

<Insert the block diagram and a technical brief about the project>
The HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor is a sensor used for detecting the distance to an
object using ultrasonic waves. It is commonly used in basic robotic projects for obstacle
avoidance.

In this project we develop a module that is used to determine the distance between the
sensor and an object placed in its vicinity. The sensor emits ultrasound waves from a
transmitter, these waves reflect off an object and are received by the receiver. The time
taken for the wave to be transmitted and received is taken into account. The distance is
then calculated using the formula (Distance = Speed x Time). (Here Speed = Speed of
sound in air(340m/s))
