EZ-B Tutorial - Ping HC-SR04 Sensor

A short video of how to wire up the HC-SR04 Ping sensor to hook up to the EZ-B.

The HC-SR04 Ping sensor is a great addition to your robot. This will allow your DIY robot to read distances of objects in its path. Attaching the sensor to a servo will allow your robot to look around also.

The EZ-Builder software also uses the HC-SR04 Ping Sensor. It's free and available at www.ez-robot.com

.that's exactly how I did. And if it has nothing in front(obstacle at infinit) what do you get on the lcd?

@CristiR0su i don't know what to say. maybe the sensor is defective. you can watch the video on my ez-robot website for the EZ-Builder and see the sensor in action. works great!

Do you have any problems with the sensor? I just bought mine from ebay and it trouble finding objects sometimes. And it doesn't work at more thann 1.5 m. Furthermore, it keeps sending on the echo pin logic 1 for a long time, on the lcd distance appears to be 40meters. I'm not sure if it is just my sensor or this is normal. Can you help me? And also, what is the output if it has nothing in front of it?

@CristiR0su This is the procedure...

1) trigger high for 10us

2) trigger low

3) wait for echo high

4) count until echo is low

count = distance

DJ can you add at the end what locations to plug this into your ez-builder

if you want to buy a sonic sensor like this, with the wires soldered on for you, and mounted to a servo, email me and i'll fix it for you and ship to you, using paypal and/or ebay. thanks

@CristiR0su Have the same problem. Bought 3 sensors and each shows 60 cm maximum distance. And ~34 meters if no objects in front of it.

Nice video, no schematics or explanations but the music set a nice beat. Looks like your using the tamiya tank chasis. I think I should pick up one of those myself.
