his program for interfacing Arduino with ultra sonic sensor with Arduino. Technical Details 1.Working Voltage : 5V(DC) 2.Static current: Less than 2mA. 3.Output signal: Electric frequency signal, high level 5V, low level 0V. 4.Sensor angle: Not more than 15 degrees. 5.Detection distance: 2cm-450cm. 6.High precision: Up to 0.3cm  7.Input trigger signal: 10us TTL impulse 8.Echo signal : output TTL PWM signal Mode of connection: 1.VCC 2.trig(T) 3.echo(R) 4.GND Program /* ——-calculation———– speed of sound = 340.29 m/sec. Here the total distance travelled by sound = sum of distance from sensor to object and object to sensor. But both are same . so we need only one distance. then speed become 170.15 m/sec. converts m/sec to cm/microseconds. then (170*100)/1000000 = 0.01715cm/us. from above equation time taken to travel distance 1CM= 1/0.01715cm = 58.3us. then distance = duration of received pulse / 58.3  HC-SR04 Ping distance pinouts to arduno:  VCC to arduino 5v  GND to arduino GND  Echo to Arduino pin 7  Trig to Arduino pin 8  result 0 indicates out of range condition  */ char g[4];unsigned int a,duration; #define echoPin PE_4 // Echo Pin #define trigPin PD_2 // Trigger Pin void setup() {  Serial.begin (9600);  pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);  pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); } void loop() {  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);  digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH); //sends signal 10 us to excite ultra sonic sensor  delayMicroseconds(10);  digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);  duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);//reads  duartion pulse in Microseconds  a = duration/58;  inttoascii();  Serial.write(‘D’); //it indicate start of data.Not necessary  Serial.print(g); //distance in CM  Serial.write(0xd); //new line  delay(50); //Delay 50ms before next reading. } void inttoascii () { g[3]=’ ‘; g[2]=(a%10)+0x30; g[1]=a/10%10+0x30; g[0]=a/100%10+0x30;//MSB section }
