Lab 4: Measuring Distance with an Ultrasonic Sensor

Lab exercise No. 4 consists of 2 parts:

• Lab 4: Part 1 - Measuring Distance with an Ultrasonic Sensor

  During the first week, you will connect a small Ultrasonic Sensor to a Raspberry Pi computer to collect and write distance measurements to file. You will also perform a sensor calibration and explore the sensor’s capabilities

• Lab 4: Part 2 - Measuring Distance with an Ultrasonic Sensor

  During the second week you will finish up lab activities from the first week, add an LED to the circuit to produce a distance warning, and will use your setup to calculate the velocity of an object.

Important

You will submit a joint lab report after completing both parts.
