==Basic Device Operation==
* 经发射器发射出长约6mm,频率为40KHZ的超声波信号。此信号被物体反射回来由接收头接收,接收头实质上是一种压电效应的换能器。它接收到信号后产生mV级的微弱电压信号。
+
* The sensor emits a 40kHz, 6 mm sound wave, which bounces off a reflective surface and returns to the sensor. The receiver converts ultrasound waves to electrical signals in mV.
* cpu向模块Matrix-Ultrasonic_Ranger发送一个高定平信号使其开始测距,模块测距完毕后会回复一个表示时间值的高电平,该高定平的时间长度就是超声波在空气中运行的时间。按照测试距离=(高电平时间*声速(340M/S))/2就可以算出超声波到障碍物的距离。
+
* The master sends a signal to the module starting to emit a sound wave. After the module receives the returned signal it will will generate a high level indicating the elapsed time and the distance will be calculated by distance = (elapsed time * speed of sound)/2.

==Compile & Run Test Program==
 +
Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:
 +
<syntaxhighlight lang="bash">
 +
$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
 +
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
 +
</syntaxhighlight>
 +
If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.

1 Introduction

Ultrasonic Ranger01
  • The Matrix-Ultrasonic_Ranger is used to measure the distance.
  • The module's sensor emits a sound wave, which bounces off a reflective surface and returns to the sensor. Then, using the amount of time it takes for the wave to return to the sensor, the distance to the object can be computed.

2 Features

  • 5V Power
  • Range: 5 cm - 300 cm,Accuracy: 1 cm
  • One wire gpio
  • PCB Dimension (mm): 20 x 40

超声波PCB

  • Pin Description:
Pin Description
S GPIO
V Supply Voltage 5V
G Ground

3 Basic Device Operation

  • The sensor emits a 40kHz, 6 mm sound wave, which bounces off a reflective surface and returns to the sensor. The receiver converts ultrasound waves to electrical signals in mV.
  • The master sends a signal to the module starting to emit a sound wave. After the module receives the returned signal it will will generate a high level indicating the elapsed time and the distance will be calculated by distance = (elapsed time * speed of sound)/2.

5 Compile & Run Test Program

Boot your ARM board with Debian and copy the matrix code:

$ apt-get update && apt-get install git
$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If your cloning is done successfully a "matrix" directory will be generated.

Compile and install Matrix:

$ cd matrix
$ make && make install

Run test program:

$ matrix-ultrasonic_ranger

Note: this module is not plug and play therefore before running the module please make sure it is connected to an ARM board.
Here is what you should observe:

The distance is  24 cm

When you place an object in front of the module the distance between the object and the module will be measured and printed.

6 Code Sample

This Matrix code sample can work with all the ARM boards mentioned in this module's wiki. The name of this code sample is "matrix-ultrasonic_ranger". Here is its source code:

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int distance = -1;
    int pin = GPIO_PIN(7);
    int board;
 
    if ((board = boardInit()) < 0) {
        printf("Fail to init board\n");
        return -1;
    }
    if (board == BOARD_NANOPI_T2)
        pin = GPIO_PIN(15);
