<p class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: left;"><strong style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; font-size: large;">An <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscilloscope#:~:text=An%20oscilloscope%2C%20previously%20called%20an,usually%20as%20a%20calibrated%20two%2D">Oscilloscope</a></strong><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; font-size: large;">&nbsp;is a machine that&nbsp;</span><strong style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; font-size: large;">shows</strong><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; font-size: large;">&nbsp;the&nbsp;</span><strong style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; font-size: large;">wave</strong><span style="font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; font-size: large;">&nbsp;shape of an electrical signal.

Measuring another physical property such as temperature, pressure, flow, velocity, or displacement on an oscilloscope requires use of a transducer or sensor to convert the measured quantity into voltage. Using the oscilloscope's function you can scale the input voltages into units that match the transducer's input.</span><span style="color: #231f20;">&nbsp;</span></span></p>

This distance sensor works by sending out an ultrasonic wave from the trigger terminal and detecting whether there is a pulse signal back through the echo.

<h2 class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;">Procedure </span></h2>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;">The 5V DC supply was connected to the VCC pin on the sensor.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;">The function output was connected to the Trig pin.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;">All the grounds were connected together </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;">Chanel2 of the oscilloscope was connected to measure the input pulse (Trig).</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;">Chanel4 of the oscilloscope was connected to the Echo pin to measure the returning pulse, if any.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">Without any object positioned in front of the sensor, the following was obtained on the screen of the oscilloscope:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;">The function output was set to produce a low frequency pulse.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;">The distance was measured, and the waveforms displayed on the oscilloscope were recorded. The waveforms displayed were used to calculate the actual distance the sensor measured from the object.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">An object was then positioned in front of the sensor:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">And the oscilloscope displayed the following. Here the peak of the returning signal was of a duration of roughly 1.5milli second, the distance measured with the calculated distance of approximately 25cm</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">The object was then moved closer to and further from the sensor. One such position </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;">The angle of the object to the sensor was also varied to test the sensor&rsquo;s ability in detecting objects that aren&rsquo;t straight in front of it.</span><span style="background-color: #f6f4ee; color: #333333; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; font-size: large;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><img style="display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;" src="/brennsalva/examples/sen3.jpg" alt="" width="300" height="193" /></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">Here the peak of the returning signal was of a duration of roughly 0.333milli second, and thereby measured a distance of approximately 5.5cm when calculated, which is close to the distance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">The angle of the object to the sensor was also varied to test the sensor&rsquo;s ability in detecting objects that aren&rsquo;t straight in front of it. One such position</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">The waveform displayed on CH4 of the oscilloscope indicates that the object was approximately 25cm from the sensor, thereby showing that the sensor can quite accurately detect the distance it is from an object that is an acute angle. This maximum angle at which the sensor detected the object during testing was approximately 20&deg;.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: large; font-family: &quot;courier new&quot;, courier;"><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">One negative about this sensor is that it&rsquo;s blind for the first 2cm, but more importantly, careful mounting must be adhered to, as if it&rsquo;s positioned too high it won&rsquo;t detect other robots and if it&rsquo;s positioned too far back on the robot, it will detect itself and presume it&rsquo;s an opposition robot</span><span style="line-height: 115%; color: #333333; background: #f6f4ee;">.</span></span></p>

Using the oscilloscope's function you can scale the input voltages into units that match the transducer's input.</span><span style="font-size: 12.0pt; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: &quot;Times New Roman&quot;; color: #231f20;">&nbsp;</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Procedure</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The 5V DC supply was connected to the VCC pin on the sensor.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The function output was connected to the Trig pin.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the grounds were connected together</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chanel2 of the oscilloscope was connected to measure the input pulse (Trig).</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Chanel4 of the oscilloscope was connected to the Echo pin to measure the returning pulse, if any.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE;">Without any object positioned in front of the sensor, the following was obtained on the screen of the oscilloscope:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The function output was set to produce a low frequency pulse.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The distance was measured, and the waveforms displayed on the oscilloscope were recorded. The waveforms displayed were used to calculate the actual distance the sensor measured from the object.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE;">An object was then positioned in front of the sensor:</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE;">And the oscilloscope displayed the following. Here the peak of the returning signal was of a duration of roughly 1.5milli second, the distance measured with the calculated distance of approximately 25cm</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE;">The object was then moved closer to and further from the sensor. One such position </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The angle of the object to the sensor was also varied to test the sensor&rsquo;s ability in detecting objects that aren&rsquo;t straight in front of it.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE;">Here the peak of the returning signal was of a duration of roughly 0.333milli second, and thereby measured a distance of approximately 5.5cm when calculated, which is close to the distance.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE;">The angle of the object to the sensor was also varied to test the sensor&rsquo;s ability in detecting objects that aren&rsquo;t straight in front of it. One such position</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE;">The waveform displayed on CH4 of the oscilloscope indicates that the object was approximately 25cm from the sensor, thereby showing that the sensor can quite accurately detect the distance it is from an object that is an acute angle. This maximum angle at which the sensor detected the object during testing was approximately 20&deg;.</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE;">&nbsp;</span></p>
<span style="font-size: 13.5pt; line-height: 115%; font-family: &quot;Arial&quot;,&quot;sans-serif&quot;; mso-fareast-font-family: Calibri; mso-fareast-theme-font: minor-latin; color: #333333; background: #F6F4EE; mso-ansi-language: EN-US; mso-fareast-language: EN-US; mso-bidi-language: AR-SA;">One negative about this sensor is that it&rsquo;s blind for the first 2cm, but more importantly, careful mounting must be adhered to, as if it&rsquo;s positioned too high it won&rsquo;t detect other robots and if it&rsquo;s positioned too far back on the robot, it will detect itself and presume it&rsquo;s an opposition robot</span></div>
