Sensor and Bridge Controller

Hardware Design - Ultrasonic Sensors

Bridge controller connections

We used HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors for obstacle detection. It could provide a range from 2 cm to 400 cm non-contact measurement. The ranging accuracy is approximately 3mm and the effectual angle is less than 15°. It needs to be powered by a 5V power supply.

HC-SR04 specifications
  • Operating voltage: +5V
  • Theoretical Measuring Distance: 2cm to 450cm
  • Practical Measuring Distance: 2cm to 80cm
  • Accuracy: 3mm
  • Measuring angle covered: <15°
  • Operating Current: <15mA
  • Operating Frequency: 40Hz

The pinout and the timing diagram of the HC-SR04 sensor are shown in the following figures. The module includes an ultrasonic transmitter, a receiver, and a control circuit. The basic principle of work: When the trigger pin is set HIGH for at least 10us, the module automatically sends a 40 kHz ultrasonic wave from the Ultrasonic transmitter. This wave travels in the air and when it gets obstructed by any material it gets reflected back toward the sensor. This reflected wave is observed by the Ultrasonic receiver module. Once the wave is returned the Echo pin goes high for a particular amount of time which will be equal to the time taken for the wave to return back to the sensor. The amount of time during which the Echo pin stays high is measured by the SJ2 board as it gives the information about the time taken for the wave to return back to the Sensor. Using this information the distance is measured as explained in the above heading. From that duration, the distance at which the object is present can be measured using the formula, Distance = Speed × Time.
