Matrix - Ultrasonic Ranger

查看中文

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

• 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.

4 Download Matrix Source Code

All the matrix modules' code samples are open source. They are maintained on GitHub - https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git
Each branch in this hub contains the matrix modules' code samples for a board that the matrix modules can work with.

• The nanopi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi
• The nanopi 2 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the NanoPi 2
• The tiny4412 branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the Tiny4412
• The raspberrypi branch contains the matrix modules' code samples for the RaspberryPi

Please follow the steps below to get the source code:
Install the git utility on a PC running Ubuntu14.04

$ sudo apt-get install git

Clone the matrix code from GitHub

$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/matrix.git

If this is successful a "matrix" directory will be generated, which will contain all the matrix modules' code samples.

5 Connect to NanoPi 2

5.1 Hardware Connection

Please refer to the following connection diagram to connect the Matrix-Ultrasonic_Ranger to the NanoPi 2:

Connection Details:

Matrix-Ultrasonic_Ranger	NanoPi 2
S	Pin7
V	Pin4
G	Pin6

5.2 编译测试程序

进入Matrix代码仓库，切换到nanopi2分支

$ cd matrix
$ git checkout nanopi2

编译Matrix配件代码

$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- clean
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux-
$ make CROSS_COMPILE=arm-linux- install

注意：请确保你的主机PC当前使用的交叉编译器为NanoPi 2配套的arm-linux-gcc-4.9.3。
编译成功后库文件位于install/lib目录下，而测试程序则位于install/usr/bin目录下，模块Matrix-Ultrasonic_Ranger对应的测试程序为matrix-ultrasonic_ranger。
硬件驱动模块位于modules目录下，对应的驱动源码都包含在在NanoPi 2的Linux内核仓库里：https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-3.4.y.git

5.3 运行测试程序

将带有Debian系统的SD卡插入一台运行Linux的电脑，可以挂载SD卡上的boot和rootfs分区。
假设rootfs分区的挂载路径为/media/rootfs，执行以下命令将Matrix的硬件驱动、库文件和测试程序拷贝到NanoPi 2的文件系统上。

$ cp modules /media/rootfs/ -r
$ cp install/lib/* /media/rootfs/lib/ -d
$ cp install/usr/bin/* /media/rootfs/usr/bin/

将SD卡重新插入NanoPi 2，上电启动，在Debian的shell终端中执行以下命令加载硬件驱动。

$ cd /modules
$ insmod matrix_hcsr04.ko

运行模块Matrix-Ultrasonic_Ranger的测试程序。

$ matrix-ultrasonic_ranger

运行效果如下：

5.4 Code Sample

int main(int argc, char ** argv)
{
    int distance = -1;
    int pin = GPIO_PIN(7);
 
    if (Hcsr04Init(pin) == -1) {
        printf("Fail to init hcsr04\n");
    }
    if (Hcsr04Read(&distance) != -1) {
        printf("Get distance: %3d cm\n", distance);
    } else {
        printf("Faid to get distance\n");
    }
    Hcsr04DeInit();
    return 0;
}

6 Connect to NanoPi

6.1 Preparations

Please install a Debian on a NanoPi and an appropriate cross compiler on a PC. Please refer to wiki: NanoPi
Compile a NanoPi kernel. Note: please use the kernel's source code from the nanopi-v4.1.y-matrix branch.

$ git clone https://github.com/friendlyarm/linux-4.x.y.git
$ cd linux-4.x.y
$ git checkout nanopi-v4.1.y-matrix
$ make nanopi_defconfig
$ touch .scmversion
$ make
