Description

The HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor operates on the principle of time-of-flight (ToF) measurement. It emits a 40 kHz ultrasonic pulse via its transmitter and listens for the echo with its receiver. The time delay between the transmitted pulse and the received echo is used to calculate the distance to an object, providing a non-contact measurement solution that is unaffected by ambient light or the color of the target material.

This module is designed for straightforward integration, requiring only a single I/O pin to trigger the measurement pulse and another to read the echo pulse width. Its performance is optimized for a wide range of applications, from simple obstacle detection to precise distance logging, supported by a compact and robust PCB construction.

Key Features

  • Wide sensing range from 2 cm up to 400 cm (4 meters) with a maximum capability of 450 cm.
  • High measurement accuracy of ±3 mm (±0.3 cm) for precise distance calculations.
  • Compact and stable 40 kHz ultrasonic transducer pair with a narrow <15° beam angle.
  • Low power consumption, drawing less than 2 mA during operation.
  • Simple 5V DC power and digital I/O interface compatible with most microcontrollers.
  • Includes a custom-molded, black ABS plastic mounting bracket for easy and secure fixture.
  • Performance is not adversely affected by sunlight or dark-colored target materials.
  • Optimized value build with a minimal blind zone for close-range detection.

Applications

  • Robotics obstacle avoidance and navigation systems.
  • Proximity sensing and object detection for automated systems.
  • Liquid level measurement in tanks and containers.
  • Parking assistance and reverse sensing systems for DIY projects.
  • Interactive art installations and presence detection triggers.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the operating voltage range for the HC-SR04 sensor?

The HC-SR04 module requires a stable 5V DC power supply. It is designed to work with standard 5V logic microcontrollers like most Arduino boards. Applying voltages outside this specification may damage the module.

How do I connect and use the HC-SR04 with an Arduino?

Connect VCC to Arduino 5V, GND to GND, Trig to a digital output pin, and Echo to a digital input pin. The library or code must send a 10µs high pulse to the Trig pin, then measure the duration of the high pulse returned on the Echo pin. Distance in cm is calculated as (pulse duration * 0.034) / 2.

What is the purpose of the included mounting bracket?

The included black ABS plastic bracket is a snap-fit design specifically molded for the HC-SR04 module. It provides a secure and stable mounting point, allowing you to fix the sensor in position for consistent readings, which is crucial for applications like fixed-distance measurement or robotic front-facing sensing.

Can this sensor measure distances less than 2 cm?

No, the HC-SR04 has a minimum measurable distance of approximately 2 cm. Objects closer than this fall within the sensor's blind zone and will not be detected accurately. For very close-range detection, a different sensor technology (e.g., infrared proximity) would be required.

Is the sensor's performance affected by the color or material of the target object?

No, ultrasonic sensing is based on sound wave reflection, not light. Therefore, the sensor's performance is not affected by the color, darkness, or light-absorbing properties of the target material, unlike some infrared sensors. However, soft, angled, or sound-absorbing surfaces may reduce the maximum range or signal strength.
