Topic : RADAR using an ultrasonic sensor

Our project is a simple

RADAR which uses an
ultrasonic sensor to detect an
object in front of it and
display them on a computer
screen.

 BIG CONCEPT
The Arduino sends a HIGH pulse width on the TRIGGER pin of the sensor to
regenerate a series of ultrasonic waves that propagate through the air until it
touches an obstacle and returns in the opposite direction towards the sensor pin
ECHO. The sensor detects the width of the pulse to calculate the distance of the
object.

Continued …

The signal on pin ECHO of the sensor remains at the HIGH position
during transmission, thereby measuring the duration of the round trip
of ultrasonic and thus determine the distance, then the output is
displayed on the computer screen using Processing software.

Meanwhile, the servo motor slowly rotates back and forth between 0°
and 180°.

He managed to do all the work
related to arduino code and also
the weekly presentations.
Shagun did the code part of
Processing software and also help
in arduino code.

Anurag Lakra
Anurag did all the assembling of
our project and made the video of
the working.
He code the processing software
visuals along with shagun.

PROBLEMS & SOLUTIONS
We faced many problems like delay in components and faulty components but they
all were minor problems and were managed properly by the team members, but the
major problem we faced was to code the visuals on Processing software, as it was
bit new for all of us.

So to cope up with this problem we gave quite bit of time to learn the software and
watched several tutorials available online.
