SRF04 Ultrasonic Rangefinder Back

A low cost ultrasonic rangefinder for measuring distances between 3cm and 3m.

The SRF04 requires a short 10us pulse to the trigger input to start ranging. The module then sends out an 8 cycle burst of ultrasound at 40kHz and raises its echo line high. It then listens for an echo, and as soon as it detects one it lowers the echo line again. The echo line is therefore a pulse whose width is proportional to the distance to the object. By timing this pulse with your controller it is possible to calculate the range.

Please note that unlike the SRF10 and SRF08 ultrasonic rangefinders the SRF04 does not support I2C communications.

Examples of using the SRF04 module with a wide range of popular controllers may be found here.
