Add an easy-to-use modern distance sensor to your project.
Much like a bat or submarine, the module uses echolocation to determine the distance from objects from 2cm to 4.5m away.
This sensor is pin and software compatible with the maker classic HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensor used in so many projects with many added benefits.
Connect the Vcc and Gnd to your development board's IO level power supply, 3.3V for Raspberry Pi, Pico and micro:bit, or 5V for Arduino.
Then Trig and Echo into digital input and output pins respectively.
Once you've got it configured correctly, use your code to take the Input reading from the Echo pin and plug it into the distance formula: distance = (traveltime/2) x speed of sound to get a distance reading.
from machine import Pin, time_pulse_us import time # Define the trigger and echo pins trigger_pin = Pin(5, Pin.OUT) echo_pin = Pin(4, Pin.IN) # Define a function to measure the distance def measure_distance(): # Trigger the sensor by sending a 10 microsecond pulse trigger_pin.on() time.sleep_us(10) trigger_pin.off() # Measure the duration of the echo pulse duration = time_pulse_us(echo_pin, 1, 30000) # Convert the duration to distance in centimeters distance = duration / 58 return distance while True: distance = measure_distance() print(int(distance)) time.sleep(.3)
