This Arduino Radar System Code Explaination

The Arduino Radar System code utilizes the Servo library to control a servo motor and an ultrasonic sensor for distance measurement. It sets up the necessary pins and initializes serial communication, allowing the servo to sweep from 15° to 165° while calculating and printing distance readings at each angle. The output format is suitable for visualization in external applications like Processing.

This Arduino Radar System code begins by including the Servo library

(#include <Servo.h>) to control the servo motor. It defines the trigPin and
echoPin (const int trigPin = 10; const int echoPin = 11;)
for the ultrasonic sensor, which are used to send and receive sound pulses. In the
setup() function, it sets these pins as output and input respectively
(pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);) and
initializes serial communication with [Link](9600);. The servo is
attached to pin 12 using [Link](12);. In the loop(), the servo
rotates from 15° to 165° and back using two for loops. At each position
([Link](i);), it calls the calculateDistance() function,
which triggers the ultrasonic sensor to emit a pulse and measure the duration of the
echo (pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);). The distance is then calculated using
distance = duration * 0.034 / 2;. Each reading is printed to the
serial monitor in the format angle,distance. using [Link]()
statements, which can be used by external applications like Processing for
visualizing the radar sweep.
