How to Get Started?
-
Power the Sensor: Connect the VCC pin to a 5V power source and the GND pin to ground.
-
Connect to a Microcontroller: Connect the TRIG pin to a digital output pin on your microcontroller and the ECHO pin to a digital input pin.
-
Send a Trigger Pulse: Send a 10 µs pulse to the TRIG pin to start the measurement. The sensor will emit an ultrasonic pulse.
-
Receive the Echo Pulse: Measure the duration of the pulse received on the ECHO pin. This duration correlates to the distance of the object.
-
Calculate Distance: Use the formula
Distance = (Duration x Speed of Sound) / 2
to calculate the distance. The speed of sound is approximately 343 meters per second. -
Test and Adjust: Verify the distance measurements and adjust your setup or code as necessary to ensure accurate readings.
