Project 2 - Measuring distance of an object using ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04)

// Project 2 - Measuring distance of an object using ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04)

Overview of the Project: 

In this project, the implementation of code for “Measuring distance of an object using ultrasonic distance sensor (HC-SR04)

Goals:

• Measuring the distance of an object using Ultrasonic Distance Sensor (HC-SR04)
• Usage of Input Capture Mode

Key Highlights of the Project: 

• Measuring the distance travelled by the wave to the object and gets bounced back from the object to sensor.
• Measuring Pulse width using Input Capture Mode

Deliverables of this project: 

• The distance travelled by a wave to the object for which we want to measure the distance using Ultrasonic Distance Sensor (HC-SR04).
• Measuring Pulse width using Input Capture Mode of Timer 1

Expected Outcomes: 

The students will get the Knowledge on Ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04) to measure the distance travelled by wave to the object, the hardware connection of Atmega328p and HC-SR04 and how to use input capture mode of Timer1
