ABSTRACT

The arduino based project requires a ultrasonic sensor hcsr04.

The microcontrollers of the arduino board can be programmed
using python language. When a code is written in arduino UNO
IDE software and connected to the board through a USB cable,
the arduino will set a voltage divider and measure the voltage
between the known and unknown resistance. Modern houses are
gradually increasing the way of design by shifting to centralized
control system with remote control switches instead of
conventional switches. They are used in street lamps which
control their intensity. Arduino boards have lot of applications in
the present day scenario, so we have decided to do a small
project on them.

Introduction to arduino board

Defining Arduino:
An Arduino is actually a microcontroller based kit which can be either
used directly by purchasing from the vendor or can be made at home
using the components, owing to its open source hardware feature. It is
basically used in communications and in controlling or operating many
devices.

6
Methodology of Arduino:

Arduino:

The Arduino tool window consists of the toolbar with the buttons like
verify, upload, new, open, save, serial monitor. It also consists of a text
editor to write the code, a message area which displays the feedback like
showing the errors, the text console which displays the output and a
series of menus like the File, Edit, Tools menu. Thus the code is
uploaded by the bootloader onto the microcontroller.

7
Architecture of the project
The entire project can be divided into three basic blocks;
1) Sensor Unit
2) Processor Unit
3) Display Unit

Sensor unit:
The sensor unit is the input of the project or the module. This unit gives
the input to the Arduino.

Processor unit:
The processor unit in this project is the Arduino microcontroller board.
This Arduino process the input and gives the output to the lcd display.

Display unit:
This display unit contains lcd display in which the height will be shown.

8
Procedure:
 Connect the circuit as shown in figure.
 Now give the power supply to the board.

Components Required:
In this project we have used the arduino and Ultra sonic sensor along
with the jumping wires and the resistors and details list of the hard ware
components are

 Arduino board and arduino cable

9
 UltraSonic Sensor

 Resistors

10
 Jumper wires

 Bread board

11
Working :

This project is based on the ultrasonic sensor as it emits some ultrasonic

waves from the transmitter of the ultrasonic sensor and the waves are
reflected if any object is present and the receiver of the ultrasonic sensor
receives the signal and gives the input to the arduino microcontroller
board and then in the Arduino as per the given commands the code will
be executed and the output of Arduino is given to the lcd display and it
displays the height.

Circuit Diagram:

13
Code:
#include<LiquidCrystal.h>
LiquidCrystal lcd(2,3,6,7,8,9);
long duration,feet,inches,inch,cm;
void setup() {
lcd.begin(16,2);
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(5, OUTPUT);
pinMode(4, INPUT);

14
}

void loop() {
digitalWrite(5,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(100);
digitalWrite(5,HIGH);
delay(100);
digitalWrite(5,LOW);
delayMicroseconds(100);
duration=pulseIn(4,HIGH);
cm=0.0340*(duration/2)+4;
inch=cm*0.3937;
feet=inch/12;
inches=inch%12;
lcd.setCursor(0,0);
lcd.clear();
lcd.print("Height=");
lcd.print(cm);
lcd.print("cm");
lcd.setCursor(0,1);
lcd.print("Height=");
lcd.print(feet);
lcd.print(".");
lcd.print(inches);
lcd.print("feets");
}

Advantages:

Low cost:
As it is low of cost around Rs.1500/- and it can be carried anywhere.

Accuracy:
As this project is used to measure height of anything(upto 4 meters)
This gives you the perfect accuracy.

Conclusions:

In this project we came to know the working of Arduino, its hardware /

software features and its applications as to where it is currently being

17
used. We have also learnt how to write sketches for Arduino in its own
IDE (software). Developing new ideas with Arduino is endless. The
possibilities of using an Arduino to learn and develop new ideas are
infinite. Though it does have its own limitations, it is a great tool that
can be used in learning.
