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

LIVE BATCH

ABINYA MAM

PROJECT-02

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
