Final ProjectPing))) Characterization Farhaz Karmali Harshit Goyal Andrew Tomlinson
Project Description • Interface a Parallax Ping))) Ultrasonic Range Finder with the Arduino Uno microcontroller package • Characterize the Ping))) sensor for general use through experimentation • Create a simple GUI to display the distance found by the Ping)))
The Arduino Uno • The Arduino Uno R2 • Board for the ATmega328 microcontroller • 16 MHz • Power from PC • USB B connector • Programming with Arduino IDE
The Ping))) Range Finder • Male 3-pin header • GND • 5 VDC • SIG • 40 KHz Tx
Limitations • a) Object is more than 3 meters away • b) Reflective surface at low incidence ang. • c) Object is too small to be detected
Limitations cont. • Objects that absorb sound or have a soft or irregular surface may not reflect enough sound to be detected accurately. • Air temperature affects the speed of sound according to: • Cair = 331.5+ (0.6× TC ) m/s • Percent error over 0 to 70 ° C is significant: 11 to 12 percent
Special Notes • Acoustics of material • Temperature • Object Shape
