Ultrasonic Sensor Raspberry Pi Circuit

Make the circuit as per the given diagram.

Ultrasonic sensor raspberry pi circuit.

Below is the circuit diagram for connecting hc sr04 sensor and lcd with raspberry pi for measuring the distance. A brief note on ultrasonic sensors. As shown in the figure hc sr04 ultrasonic sensor has four pins pin1 vcc or 5v pin2 trigger 10us high pulse given to tell the sensor to sense the distance. The sensor i choose for such a project is the hc sr04 sensor.

Below are all the bits and pieces that we utilized for this guide on setting up a raspberry pi distance sensor circuit. These small modules are available starting at 1 2 bucks and can measure the distance up to 4 5 meters by ultrasound and are suprisingly accurate. Ethernet network connection or wifi dongle the pi 3 has wifi inbuilt. Control a ultrasonic distance sensor with scratch for raspberry pi and use in the ultrasonic theremin project of magpi magazine issue 58 note the project uses a python program to send the sensor data to the scratch program.

The raspberry pi ultrasonic sensor interface is different from interfacing led button lcd motors etc. Using a raspberry pi distance sensor ultrasonic sensor hc sr04 for many outdoor projects a distance measurement is necessary or advantageous. I have been asked to prepare a code that works on python to control 8 ultrasonic sensors connected to a raspberry pi board. This tutorial shows the connection and control.

This is because the output of the hc sr04 ultrasonic sensor is at a 5v logic level whereas the raspberry pi works on a 3 3v logic level. Raspberry pi 2 or 3. The system shall be connected to a screen via an hdmi and it should show something like a radar monitor. Ground gnd echo pulse output echo trigger pulse input trig and 5v supply vcc.

There are four pins available in ultrasonic distance sensor. Ultrasonic theremin with scratch for raspberry pi. From radu mihai rotariu via hackster io. Left sided pin vcc is connected to 5v trigger pin is connected to gpio 4 echo pin connected to gpio 17 and gnd pin is connected to raspberry pi ground pin.

We power the module using vcc ground it using gnd and use our raspberry pi to send an input signal to trig which triggers the sensor to send an ultrasonic pulse. A basic ultrasonic sensor consists of one or more ultrasonic transmitters basically speakers a receiver and a control circuit.
