HY-SRF05 ULTRASONIC RANGING SENSOR

The HY-SRF05 Ultrasonic Range Finder Module uses ultrasonic sound waves to detect the presence of and measure the distance to objects in front of it.

There is a 5-pin header on the assembly.  The GND pin is connected to the system ground and the Vcc pin is connected to 5V.  The TRIG pin is an input pin on which a 10uSec pulse is applied to start the measurement cycle.  The ECHO pin is an output pin that is held HIGH for the duration of the time from when the module sends a 40KHz pulse out until it receives the echo back.  The OUT pin is not used.

• • 2cm -450cm (15 feet) detection range
  • 40 kHz operation
  • ±15-degree field of view
  • 5V operation

Wiring / Connection:

• • VCC –   Connect to 5V.
  • TRIG –   Trigger Input – Connect to any digital output pin on MCU.  A 10uSec or wider pulse starts a measurement cycle
  • ECHO – Echo Output – Connect to any digital input pin on MCU.  This pin is held high for the duration of the measurement cycle.
  • OUT – Not used
  • GND – Connect to system ground.  This ground needs to be in common with the MCU.

Application:

• • Security Systems
  • Interactive Animated Exhibits
  • Parking Assistant Systems
  • Robotic Navigation

Package includes:

• • 1 X HY-SRF05 Ultrasonic Ranging Sensor
