Arduino Library For Ultrasonic Ranging Module HC-SR04

Application Note, by ITead.

We have already sold many HC-SR04 modules , though its easy use and we has published a demo ,still some user mail us for a specialized code of his own use even just change the different Arduino pins for module. So we decide to release a Arduino Library for those beginning user . You just need to add the library into your Arduino , and call for a function , you can get the distance. Download the Library , unzip the release package to arduino-0018/libraries/ folder. Open the Arduino IDE , you can include the library by Sketch-Import library-Ultrasonic . And you can find the example sketch in File-Examples-Ultrasonic-UltrasonicDemo . Here we give out a brief introduction of this ultrasonic ranging library. It includes 3 function for user : 1. Ultrasonic(int TP, int EP) This is a initial function for ultrasonic ranging module, choose the pins for module Trig and Echo pin. example: Ultrasonic(13,12); then you define the digital pin 13 of Arduino for the Trig pin of HC-SR04. And the pin 12 for Echo pin. 2. long Timing() Trigger the ultrasonic ranging module work and return the duration that Echo pin keep high level. example: long time; Ultrasonic hcsr; time = hcsr.Timing(); Then you start the HC-SR04 for ranging and you get the time the Echo pin keep high, you can change the time corresponds to the distance : Distance = ((Duration of high level)*(Sonic :340m/s))/2 3. long Ranging(int sys) (sys : CM / INC) If you dont want to change the time into distance yourself , this function will help you get the distance immediate. And the function has a parameter sys, you can use CM or ICN , than you get the distance show as centimeter or inch. This function will call the Timing() and you dont need to use the Timing() before it. example: long distance; Ultrasonic hcsr; distance = hcsr.Ranging(CM); OK, now you get the distance in centimeter . Its very easy , right ? Download the library for HC-SR04 ultrasonic ranging module here : Ultrasonic ranging library (1.4 KiB, 11,233 hits) Adicionar ao Reddit

I purchased a unit and would really love to move forward with this model and if useful possibly purchase more. Thank You Sincerely, Shawn McNown at May 28, 2011 5:20 AM Reply 2. I get a message that the RAR is damaged. Greg M. Johnson at June 5, 2011 2:11 AM Reply 3. This is great and thank you a lot for sharing. Ultrasonic sensors are very useful but take a lot or lines, and this sensor is one of the cheapiest. Your library will be very useful. Personally i am trying to use it with a hacked robo sapien:-) Best regards and thanks from France ! @hugobiwan @hugobiwan at June 20, 2011 5:57 AM Reply 4. The new Arduino 1.0 does not compile the Ultrasonic library because ultrasonic.h has #include WProgram.h and the WProgram.h is removed from version 1.0 - see the forum http://arduino.cc/forum/index.php/topic,81078.msg613177.html#msg613177 T Greenbaum at December 12, 2011 12:25 PM Reply 5. Greenbaum, change the WProgram.h reference to Arduino.h and everything should run fine. Luiz Gustavo at December 31, 2011 8:51 PM Reply 6. Its INC for inches, not ICN as shown above.
