8.2 Introduction of RGB ultrasonic ranging module
The ultrasonic ranging module used in our PiCarPro product has four pins,
namely VCC, GND, Echo and Trig. The HC-SR04 can provide a non-contact distance
sensing function of 2cm-400cm, and the ranging accuracy can reach 3mm; The
module includes an ultrasonic transmitter, receiver and control circuit. The basic
working principle is as follows:
Use IO port TRIG to trigger distance measurement, and give a high level signal
of at least 10us.
The module automatically sends eight 40khz square waves, and automatically
detects whether there is a signal return.
There is a signal return, and a high level is output with the IO port ECHO. The
