View source for Proximity Sensor via Ultrasonic Sonar Module

----

Part of the [[Sensors_and_Controls_@_DILC|Sensors and Controls Project]], this Arduino micro-based Proximity Sensor integrates an Ultrasonic Sonar module. With this, one can easily monitor if there's someone near or around a specific area, say, room, door, gate.

III. '''PROCEDURES'''


1. Prepare all the materials.


2. Put the corresponding components onto the breadboard. Make sure that the pins of the components are properly mounted to ensure the efficiency of the circuit. 


3. There are 5 pins of the US-100. From the back facing yourself, the 2 pins from the left are '''GROUND'''. The third pin from the left is the '''ECHO''', followed by the '''TRIGGER''' and lastly, the rightmost one, the '''VCC''' or the power.

4. Connect the TRIGGER pin to '''Pin 6''' of the Arduino. Connect the ECHO pin to '''Pin 7''' of the Arduino. Make a connection between the 2 GROUND pins and connect it to '''GROUND pin''' of the Arduino. Also connect the VCC or power to the '''5V pin''' of the Arduino.

5. For indication purposes, you will connect 3 LEDs and a small buzzer. The GROUND pins of the LEDs and piezo buzzer will be connected to the GROUND pin of the US-100. The ANODE pins of LED1 to '''pin 8''', LED2 to '''pin 9''', LED3 to '''pin 10''', LED4 to '''pin11''' and LED5 to '''pin12'''.


6. Have the code for the given circuit, use the Arduino 1.0.5 to program the operation of the circuit. See the code below and just copy and paste it on the Arduino 1.0.5.

7. Verify the code that you program. Once done, upload the code to the Arduino and you can now test the capabilities of the proximity sensor.

IV. '''SIMULATION'''


As soon as you upload the code on the arduino, it will take seconds for the sensor to be working efficiently.


* When something moving is greater than 3 meter range, the LEDs will not light up.

* When something moving is within the range of 2.51 to 3 meters, the GREEN light will turn on.

* When something moving is within the range of 2.1 to 2.5 meters, the GREEN light and one YELLOW light will light up.

[[File:FinalTest3.jpg|300px]]


* When somethingmoving is within the range of 1.51 to 2 meters, the GREEN light, and the 2 YELLOW lights will light up.

[[File:FinalTest4.jpg|300px]]


* When something moving is within the range of 1.1 to 1.5 meters, the GREEN light, the 2 YELLOW lights and one RED light will light up.

[[File:FinalTest5.jpg|300px]]


* When something moving is very near and within the range of 0 to 1 meter, ALL LEDs will light up.

For added alarm indicator, the LEDs were put into blinking.
