Radar System Using Arduino

 Objective

To create a functional radar system using an Arduino microcontroller, an ultrasonic sensor , and a servo motor
to detect and display the position of objects within a defined range.

 Key Components
1. Arduino Uno
2. Ultrasonic Sensor
3. Servo Motor
4. Jumper wires
5. Breadboard
6. PC with Arduino & Processing IDE

 Working Principle

1. The servo motor rotates the ultrasonic sensor in increments.


2. The sensor emits ultrasonic waves and measures the echo return time to calculate distance.
3. Arduino processes the data and sends angle and distance values to a computer via serial communication.
4. The Processing IDE generates a real-time radar-like display showing object positions.

 Features
1. 180° scanning range
2. Real-time distance measurement (up to 200 cm)
3. Visual radar display (using Processing)
4. Adjustable sensitivity and scanning speed

 Applications
1. In driverless vehicle system
2. Small-scale obstacle detection
3. Robotics navigation
4. Security surveillance (basic motion detection)
5. Educational demonstration of radar principles

 Conclusion

This project successfully demonstrates a low-cost, functional radar system using Arduino, providing a foundation for
more advanced enhancements like wireless data transmission, multi-sensor integration, or IoT connectivity.
