✍Ultrasonic ranging module HC-SR04 provides 2cm - 400cm non-contact measurement function, the ranging accuracy can reach to 3mm. The modules include ultrasonic transmitters, receiver and control circuit. If you are sourcing for an ultrasonic ranging module, the HC-SR04 is a good choose. Its stable performance and high ranging accuracy make it a popular module in electronic market. Compared to the Shap IR ranging module, HC-SR04 is more inexpensive than it. But it has the same ranging accuracy and longer ranging distance.

▼The basic principle of work:

Using IO trigger for at least 10us high-level signal,

The Module automatically sends eight 40 kHz and detect whether there is a pulse signal back.

IF the signal back, through high level , time of high output IO duration is the time from sending ultrasonic to returning. Test distance = (high level time×velocity of sound (340M/S) /2
