This is a Ultrasonic Sensor Project.
First take the ultrasonic sensor and it pin to a bread board.
Here is my Ultrasonic video watch it. It helps to circuit diagram and the code.
🛠️ เจาะลึกเบื้องหลังการทำงาน (Deep Dive / Technical Analysis)
Tired of drawing marks on a doorframe? The Height Tracker uses supersonic sound to measure human height instantly. It’s a fun, interactive project often used in science fairs and interactive exhibits.
The Reversal Logic
Standard distance meters measure how far away an object is. The height tracker flips this logic:
- The Setup: The HC-SR04 sensor is mounted securely on a wall at an exact known height (e.g., exactly 200 cm from the floor), pointing straight down.
- The Measurement: A person stands under it. The sensor measures the distance from the ceiling to the top of the person's head (e.g., 30 cm).
- The Math: The Arduino subtracts the measured distance from the total known height (
Height = 200cm - 30cm = 170cm).
Hardware Requirements
- Arduino Uno/Nano: The calculator.
- HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor: The sound transceiver.
- 16x2 LCD or 4-Digit 7-Segment Display: To show the final height.
- Push Button: To trigger the measurement when the person is ready.
Calibration for Accuracy
Because sound travels at different speeds depending on the air temperature, you can add a DHT11 sensor to your project. The Arduino can then adjust the speed of sound variable in its formula based on the current room temperature, ensuring medical-grade accuracy!
