HC-SR04 based Distance Finder gives the distance from an obstacle in centimetres. It has a range of 2cms to 400cms. The project is build around AT89S52 which is a 8051 family microcontroller. The distance is displayed on Seven Segment Displays.
Components:
AT89S52
Three 7-Seg. Disp. (Common Anode type)
HC-SR04 (Ultrasonic sensor module)
Connectors, PCBs etc.
The code is written in Assembly and is easily understandable. The project can be used in obstacle avoidance robots, etc.
Working:
The working of the ultrasonic sensors is quite simple and they are easy to interface with the microcontroller. The sensor module has 4-pins out of which Pin-1 and Pin-4 are +Vcc and Gnd respectively.Pin-2 is Trigger and Pin-3 is Echo pin.The working of sensors can be described from the below figure :
When a High pulse of 10us is applied at TRIG pin, the ultrasonic transmitter sends 8 consecutive pulses of 40kHz frequency. As the Eighth pulse is sent the ECHO pin of the sensor becomes HIGH. Now when the ultrasonic waves reflect from any surface and are received by the Receiver, the ECHO pin becomes LOW. The time it takes to leave and return to sensor is used to find the distance from the reflecting surface.
Distance in centimetres = (Time/58) cms
In Inches = (Time/148)
Distance can also be calculated by taking into account the speed of Sound (=340m/s)
Explanation of the CODE:
· The Data lines of for Seven Segment Displays are interfaced at Port-0
· Port-1’s, Pin-0,1 and 2 are select line for the SSDs
· P3.0 is connected to Trig
· P3.1 is connected to Echo pin of the sensor module
· In the main part of Program, firstly Timer-1 is initialized in mode2 (8-bit auto reload)
When P3.0 is set high, subroutine DELAY1 is called. After 10us P3.0 is reset to 0
· Now P3.1 is checked for a high signal. As P3.1 becomes high, Timer 1 starts and every time it overflows Register A is incremented.
· The Count Value loaded is to be 58 (mentioned on the datasheet). So that after 58 cycles A gets incremented once. But since the delay caused due to instructions have to compensated, the count value I used is 45 (=> 255D-210D).
· The value stored in A is used to extract the Distance measured. This is done by Division instruction.
· The 8-bit data value is sequentially sent to respective 7-Segment Display being selected through the selection lines.
