HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Distance Measuring Module



HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Distance Measuring Module

- Model: HC-SR04 - Color: Blue + Silver - Working voltage : 5V(DC) - Static current: Less than 2mA. - Output signal: Electric frequency signal, high level 5V, low level 0V. - Sensor angle: Not more than 15 degrees. - Detection distance: 2cm~450cm. - High precision: Up to 3mm - Mode of connection: VCC / trig(T) / echo(R) / GND - Module Working Principle: - Adopt IO trigger through supplying at least 10us sequence of high level signal - The module automatically send eight 40khz square wave and automatically detect whether receive the returning pulse signal - If there is signals returning, through outputting high level and the time of high level continuing is the time of that from the ultrasonic transmitting to receiving

// load the library for HC-SR04 http://iteadstudio.com/application-note/arduino-library-for-ultrasonic-ranging-module-hc-sr04/ // Remark: change the “WProgram.h” reference to “Arduino.h” in files "Ultrasonic.h" and "Ultrasonic.cpp" and everything will be fine


 * 1) include "Ultrasonic.h"
