Ultrasonic Range Sensor HC-SR04 Sensor Module

This HC-SR04-Ultrasonic Range Finder is a very popular sensor that is found in many applications where it requires measuring distance and detect objects.
The module has two eyes like projects in the front which forms the Ultrasonic transmitter and Receiver.  The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor uses sonar to determine the distance to an object like bats or dolphins do.

This Ultrasonic Sensor module is a transmitter, a receiver, and a control circuit in one single pack!! It has very handy and compact construction. It offers excellent range accuracy and stable readings in an easy-to-use package. Its operation is not affected by sunlight or black material like Sharp rangefinders are (although acoustically soft materials like cloth can be difficult to detect).

The Trigger and the Echo pins are the I/O pins of this module and hence they can be connected to the I/O pins of the microcontroller/Arduino. When the receiver detects the return wave the Echo pin goes high for a particular amount of time which will be equal to the time taken for the wave to return back to the sensor.

Ultrasonic Distance Sensor provides very short (2CM) to long-range (4M) detection and ranging. The sensor provides precise and stable non-contact distance measurements from about 2cm to 4 meters with very high accuracy. It can be easily interfaced with any microcontroller.
The module sends eight 40Khz square wave pulses and automatically detects whether it receives the returning signal. If there is a signal returning,  a high-level pulse is sent on the echo pin. The length of this pulse is the time it took the signal from first triggering to the return echo.

Vayuyaan believes in satisfied customers, so whatever the product is, we first import them then test them for their supplier-defined and standard capabilities. Only after doing all the possible quality checks, we make the product available to our customers.

HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Applications:

• Used to avoid and detect obstacles with robots like biped robots, obstacle avoider robots, pathfinding robots, etc.
• Used to measure the distance within a wide range of 2cm to 400cm
• Can be used to map the objects surrounding the sensor by rotating it
• Depth of certain places like wells, pits, etc can be measured since the waves can penetrate through the water
