What is an Ultrasonic Sensor and how it works?
If you are new to electronics, you might have so many questions like what is an Ultrasonic sensor? How it can measure the distance of any object? In this section, we will try to find the answers to such questions. Once you have all the required components with you, you can follow the steps mentioned below and work on the project. Take a look at the picture of an ultrasonic sensor below. On the left, we have the front view of an ultrasonic sensor and on the right side, we get to see the backside view of the ultrasonic sensor. We have two transducers at the front of this sensor that you can see in the first image. One transducer is used to transmit, the ultrasonic burst at 40kHz, and another one receives the reflected ultrasonic burst. We have 2 pins (i.e. Vcc and GND) for powering up the sensor and 2 pins (i.e. Trigger and Echo) for measuring the distance. Now, let’s try to understand the working with the help of timing diagram below. At first, we need to set the Trigger pin of the ultr...
