Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

Aim

The goal of this activity is to integrate a distance sensor with an Arduino board and measure the distances of the objects which are in its path and range.

Materials Required

1. Arduino UNO  – 1
2. USB Cable – 1
3. Ultrasonic Distance Sensor – 1

Desired Outcome

Place any object, say your hand, in front of the sensor. You will notice that the LCD1602 display will immediately display the distance of your hand from the sensor. You can now place various objects in front of the ultrasonic sensor to know how far they are from it.
