HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Module

Description

Ultrasonic ranging module HC - SR04 provides 2cm - 400cm non-contact measurement function.
The ranging accuracy can reach to 3mm.
The modules includes ultrasonic transmitters, receiver and control circuit.

Basic principle of work

• Using IO trigger for at least 10us high level signal,
• The Module automatically sends eight 40 kHz and detect whether there is a pulse signal back.
• IF the signal back, through high level , time of high output IO duration is the time from sending ultrasonic to returning.
• Test distance = (high level time×velocity of sound (340M/S) / 2

Features

• Easy to assemble
• Compatible with Raspberry Pi and Arduino and so on.

Timing Diagram

The Timing diagram is shown below. You only need to supply a short 10uS pulse to the trigger input to start the ranging, and then the module will send out an 8 cycle burst of ultrasound at 40 kHz and raise its echo.
The Echo is a distance object that is pulse width and the range in proportion .
You can calculate the range through the time interval between sending trigger signal and receiving echo signal.

Formula: uS / 58 = centimeters or uS / 148 =inch; 
or: the range = high level time * velocity (340M/S) / 2

we suggest to use over 60ms measurement cycle, in order to prevent trigger signal to the echo signal.
