This project demonstrates how to use an ultrasonic sensor to measure distance from objects and display the result on a 16x2 LCD screen using an Arduino board.
Ultrasonic sensors are commonly used for distance measurement in various applications. In this project, we utilize an ultrasonic sensor to measure the distance between the sensor and an object in front of it. The measured distance is then displayed on a 16x2 LCD screen in real time.
- Arduino Uno (or any compatible board)
- HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor
- 16x2 LCD Display
- Potentiometer (for adjusting LCD contrast)
- Breadboard
- Jumper wires
- Connect the components as per the circuit diagram provided (TODO: Add circuit diagram).
- Upload the Arduino sketch provided (
ultrasonic_lcd_display.ino
) to your Arduino board using the Arduino IDE. - Adjust the contrast of the LCD using the potentiometer.
- Power on the Arduino board.
- The LCD will display the distance measured by the ultrasonic sensor in centimeters.
- Place objects in front of the ultrasonic sensor at varying distances to observe real-time distance measurement on the LCD display.
- The LCD will continuously update the distance measurement as objects move closer or farther away from the sensor.
