Measuring distance is so important in today’s world that things like driverless cars will be impossible without it, that description is probably enough to describe how important knowing the distance between two objects can be. For that reason, today we will be building a distance...

Recently Californian startup Chirp Microsystems officially announced two discrete ultrasonic Time-of-Flight (ToF) sensors, the CH-101 and CH-201, with maximum sensing ranges of 1m and 5m, respectively. Both chips have a 3.5x3.5mm package and they are powered by same ASIC or...

Ultrasound, also known as sonography, is a medical procedure which uses sound waves to get images from inside the body. It is used to help guide biopsies, diagnose causes of pain, examine a baby in pregnant women, diagnose heart conditions etc. High- frequency sound waves are...

addictedToArduino @ instructables.com designed a Arduino based parking assistant. To appease my frustration I decided to design a device that would allow me to park in the exact spot every time. I love working with arduinos, leds, sensors, and nearly anything else electronic, so I...

Dejan Nedelkovski had built an Arduino security and alarm system project that uses an ultrasonic sensor for detecting objects and a buzzer for notification. Components needed to build this simple system are: Arduino board, LCD display, 4x4 keypad, ultrasonic sensor and buzzer. The...

circuitbasics.com has a new tutorial on how to measure distance using Arduino and an ultrasonic sensor. Ultrasonic range finders are fun little modules that measure distance. You can use them to find the precise distance to an object, or also just to detect when something is within...

An ultrasonic parking sensor project from Ch00ftech: After electing to use the PING))) sensor exactly as directed, I needed to build the rest of my circuit.  I wanted to build something robust that would mount nicely on the wall of my dad’s garage.  Figuring that the sensor...

Lukas Fässler discuss about his anemometer project progress and what tests he has performed so far. In the mean time I managed to do some rudimentary testing and now feel confident to take orders. These tests concern the hardware only. What I said last time about the state of the...
