This is my first project using Arduino. Basically, it is a radar system that can detect objects within a certain distance. The system has light indicators with red being too close, yellow is mid-range, and green indicates that the object is far enough (within the safe distance). It also makes sound when the object is too close (red warning).
I posted the video talking more in details about how the system works, you can check it out here:
How It Works
This system uses an IR Remote Control or a Bluetooth App to override the automatic scanning:
Auto Mode: The servo sweeps 0 to 180 degrees using the ultrasonic sensor.
Manual Mode: The user can "steer" the sensor left or right and trigger a "snapshot" measurement.
Data Feedback: The ultrasonic data is plotted on a PC using Processing, showing the user exactly what's in front of the sensor.
Hardware Components
Arduino Uno: The mission controller.
HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor: For distance detection.
SG90 Servo Motor: For the scanning movement.
IR Receiver and Remote: For manual override.
Processing Software: For the computer-side radar screen.
The Software Logic
The code utilizes Interrupts or a state machine to switch between "Auto Sweep" and "Manual Control" without lag. This makes the radar feel responsive, allowing you to use it as a precision measurement tool or a general security scanner.
