You can measure distance using the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor with Raspberry Pi. The HC-SR04 sensor can measure distance from 2mm (. 02m) to 400cm (4m). It sends 8 burst of 40KHz signals and then waits for it to hit an object and get reflected back.

How do you use the distance sensor on a Raspberry Pi?
Follow the guides below to see how to wire your HC-SR04 distance sensor to your Raspberry Pi.
- VCC Connects to Pin 2 (5v)
- Trig Connects to Pin 7 (GPIO 4)
- Echo Connects to R1 (1k Ω)
- R2 (2k Ω) Connects from R1 to Ground.
- Wire from R1 and R2 connects to Pin 11.
- GND connects to Pin 6 (Ground)
How do you measure distance with a sensor?
Working principle of IR distance sensors
- Infrared light is emitted from the IR LED emitter.
- The beam of light hits the object (P1) and is reflected off a certain angle.
- The reflected light will reach the PSD (U1)
- The sensor in the PSD will then determine the position/distance of the reflective object.
How is ultrasonic distance calculated?
To measure the distance the sound has travelled we use the formula: Distance = (Time x SpeedOfSound) / 2. The "2" is in the formula because the sound has to travel back and forth. First the sound travels away from the sensor, and then it bounces off of a surface and returns back.
How do I check my Raspberry Pi specs?
How to Check the Software and Hardware Version of a Raspberry Pi
- cat /etc/debian_version can be used to see what version of Debian you are running.
- cat /etc/os-release can be used to see OS release notes.
- uname -a can be used to see what kernel version is running.
- cat /proc/cpuinfo can be used to see what hardware you are using.
Can ultrasonic sensor work on 3.3 V?
What is an Ultrasonic HC-SR04 Distance Sensor Module? It is a relatively cheap sensor to measure distance between itself and another object by sending an ultrasonic pulse and listening for an echo response. This sensor can be connected to many devices that provide 5v or 3.3v logic.
What is the range of ultrasonic sensor?
For ultrasonic sensing, the most widely used range is 40 to 70 kHz. The frequency determines range and resolution; the lower frequencies produce the greatest sensing range. At 58 kHz, a commonly used frequency, the measurement resolution is one centimeter (cm), and range is up to 11 meters.
Can IR sensor detect distance?
The Infrared sensor works based on the detection of a specific light of wavelength in the range of 760nm (IR spectrum), which is emitted by an IR Light Emitting Diode (LED). The distance can be measured based on the change in intensity of the received light.
How long does ultrasonic sensor measure distance?
Ultrasonic sensors are suitable for close range detection up to ten meters and provide multiple range measurements per second.
Can proximity sensor measure distance?
Proximity sensors are also used in machine vibration monitoring to measure the variation in distance between a shaft and its support bearing. This is common in large steam turbines, compressors, and motors that use sleeve-type bearings. A proximity sensor adjusted to a very short range is often used as a touch switch.
Can ultrasonic sensor detect speed?
The use of ultrasonic sensors has been widely used in various purposes such as determining surface structure, measuring the position, and calculating the speed of an object [1].
How does Arduino calculate distance?
Now in Arduino IDE, open Tools > Serial monitor. Proceed as follows: Check the sensor value when the target is placed at 15 cm. Check the sensor value when the target is placed at 10 cm.
What is ultrasonic principle?
Ultrasonic sensors emit short, high-frequency sound pulses at regular intervals. If they strike an object, then they are reflected back as echo signals to the sensor, which itself computes the distance to the target based on the time-span between emitting the signal and receiving the echo. ...
