How To: Use an Arduino with an Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04)

This video is about using the popular HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor with an Arduino Uno to make distance measurements. You can use these measurements in many applications from robot object avoidance to parking sensors.

#define echoPin 7
#define trigPin 8

long duration;
long distance;

void setup() {
 // put your setup code here, to run once:
 Serial.begin(9600);
 pinMode(echoPin,INPUT);
 pinMode(trigPin,OUTPUT);
}

void loop() {
 // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
 digitalWrite(trigPin,LOW);
 delayMicroseconds(2);
 digitalWrite(trigPin,HIGH);
 delayMicroseconds(10);
 digitalWrite(trigPin,LOW);
 duration = pulseIn(echoPin,HIGH);
 distance = duration/58.2;
 Serial.print(distance);
 delay(50);
