INTRODUCTION
Distance measurement of an object in front or by the side of a moving entity is required in a large
number of devices. These devices may be small or large and also quite simple or complicated.
Such distance measurement systems are available. These use various kinds of sensors and sys-
tems. Low cost and accuracy as well as speed is important in most of the applications.
In this project, we have implemented such a measurement system which uses ultrasonic sensor
unit and a ATmega32 microcontroller based system. This microcontroller is easily available at low
cost. A correlation is applied to minimize the error in the measured distance. Ultrasound sensors
are very versatile in distance measurement. They are also providing the cheapest solutions. Ultra-
sound waves are useful for both the air and underwater. Ultrasonic sensors are also quite fast for
most of the common applications. In simpler system a low cost version of 8- bit microcontroller
can also be used in the system to lower the cost.
The current methods of blockage detection are based on manual visual inspection and inspection
through CCD camera based equipments. In such systems ﬁrst pictures of obstacle can be obtained
and then they are observed and analyzed. The main limitation of these systems are that they cannot
tell you the exact distance or location of the obstacle.

1.1 Problem Statement
As IR sensors distance measurement systems cannot work good in different light conditions and
also cannot work in water,hence build a low cost system to measure the distance which will work
under water and is not affected by varying light conditions.
1.2 Necessity of project
The main objective of this project is to Provide a useful system to measure the distance which will
be easy to conﬁgure and handle.

LITERATURE SURVEY
Obstacle detecting sensors are one of the most basic type of sensors that electronic hobbyists use.
There are several methods to make cheap obstacle sensors. These simple sensors are made using
a IR Rx/Tx pair or Normal LED and LDR pair(this design is most basic and is heavily affected
by environment lighting conditions). These sensor may be useful for simple requirement but they
have following drawbacks :
1. Cant say anything about the real distance of obstacle.
2. Give different result for different coloured obstacles.
3. Need calibration (like setting up a variable resistor).
To solve these problems initially IR Range Finder Modules(like one made by Sharp) were used but
they have small range.
1. Sharp GP2D12 Distance Measurement Sensor has a maximum range of 80cm
2. Sharp GP2D120 Distance Measurement Sensor has a maximum range of 30cm only.
To solve all these problem we can use an Ultrasonic Range Finder Module. An Ultrasonic Range
Finder Module uses ultrasonic waves (inaudible to humans) to measure distance. These module
consist of an Ultrasonic Transmitter (Tx) that emits the ultrasonic wave, the waves after striking
any obstacle bounces back and reach the Ultrasonic Receiver (Rx). By measuring the time it take
for the whole process to complete and using simple arithmetic we can measure the distance to the
obstacle. The Ultrasonic Range Finder Modules has a wide operating range of 1cm to 400cm with

an accuracy of 1cm. These speciﬁcations makes it ideal for distance measurement application.
These can be used for:
1. Contact less measurement of liquid level in tanks (even 4m deep tank).
2. Radars for robot.
3. Obstacle sensing in Robotics.
4. Speed check in roads.
5. Handheld units that can be pointed on vehicles to measure their speed.
6. Fixed unit installed in check booths that can click pictures of over speeding vehicles.
The reason for using ultrasonic wave are
1. The speed of Ultra Sonic waves is 343m/s (Speed of Sound) which is not too fast for MCUs to
measure accurately. Compare this with speed of electromagnetic waves (like light or radio waves)
which is 30,00,00,000 m/s! So it takes only 20ns (nano second) to go and bounce back from an
obstacle which is 3m away! An AVR running at 16MIPS(maximum for most AVRs) takes 62ns to
execute a single instruction.
2. Ultrasonic waves travels more narrow, like a beam than normal sound wave. This property helps
the sensor detect the obstacles that are exactly in line with it only. The sensors can be rotated with
steppers or servo motors to get a ”image” of obstacle in the surrounding area (like a radar).
3. Finally the wave do not disturb any humans nearby.

work:
1.Using IO trigger for at least 10us high level signal
2.The module automatically sends eight 40 kHz and detect whether there is a pulse signal back.

3.2.2 Electrical Parameters
Figure 3.2: Electrical Parameters

3.2.3 Timing Diagram
The Timing diagram is shown below. You only need to supply a short 10uS pulse to the trigger
input to start the ranging, and then the module will send out an 8 cycle burst of ultrasound at 40
kHz and raise its echo. The Echo is a distance object that is pulse width and the range in proportion
.You can calculate the range through the time interval between sending trigger signal and receiving
echo signal. Formula: uS / 58 = centimeters or uS / 148 =inch; or the range = high level time *
velocity (340M/S) / 2; It is advised to use over 60ms measurement cycle, in order to prevent trigger
signal to the echo signal.

Port A (PA7..PA0): Port A serves as the analog inputs to the A/D Converter. Port A is also used
as an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port if the analog to digital converter is not used. The Port A output
buffers have symmetrical drive characteristics. When pins PA0 to PA7 are used as inputs, they
will source current if the internal pull-up resistors are activated. When a reset condition becomes
active, Port A pins are tri-stated even if the clock is not running.
Port B (PB7..PB0): Port B is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The
Port B output buffers also have symmetrical drive characteristics with both high sink and source
capability. Port B pins which are externally pulled low will source current if the pull-up resistors
are activated. When a reset condition becomes active and even if the clock is not running, the Port
B pins becomes tri-stated.
Port C (PC7..PC0): Port C is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors (se-
lected for each bit). If the pull-up resistors are activated Port C output buffers also have symmetrical
drive characteristics with both high sink and source capability. Port C pins which are externally

pulled low will source current. When a reset condition becomes active the Port C pins are tri-
stated, even if the clock is not running. The pull-up resistors on pinsPC5 (TDI), PC3 (TMS) and
PC2(TCK) will be activated if the JTAG interface is enabled even if a reset occurs.
Port D (PD7..PD0): Port D is an 8-bit bi-directional I/O port with internal pull-up resistors. The

3.3.3 Timer
Timers are standard features of almost every microcontroller. So it is very important to learn their
use. Since an AVR microcontroller has very powerful and multifunctional timers, the topic of timer
is somewhat vast. Moreover there are many different timers on chip. So this section on timers will
be multipart. I will be giving basic introduction ﬁrst.
What is a timer?
A timer in simplest term is a register. Timers generally have a resolution of 8 or 16 Bits. So a 8
bit timer is 8Bits wide so capable of holding value withing 0-255. But this register has a magical
property ! Its value increases/decreases automatically at a predeﬁned rate (supplied by user). This
is the timer clock. And this operation does not need CPUs intervention.
Figure 3.6: Basic Operation of Timer
Since Timer works independently of CPU it can be used to measure time accurately. Timer upon
certain conditions take some action automatically or inform CPU. One of the basic condition is
the situation when timer OVERFLOWS i.e. its counted upto its maximum value (255 for 8 BIT
timers) and rolled back to 0. In this situation timer can issue an interrupt and you must write an
Interrupt Service Routine (ISR) to handle the event.

3.4 LCD Display
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is an electronic display system. A 16x2 LCD display is a very basic
system and commonly used in various devices and circuits. LCDs are preferred over seven seg-
ments and other multi segment LEDs. The advantages of LCDs are as follows:
1. LCDs are economical.
2. They are easily programmable.
3. A number of characters can be displayed.
4. Very compact and light.
5. Low power consumption
Figure 3.7: 16X2 LCD Display
A 16x2 LCD means it can display 16 characters per line and 2 such lines are there. In this LCD
every character is displayed in 5x7 pixel matrix. LCD possesses two registers: Data and Command
registers. The command register stores the command instructions given to the LCD. A command
can be deﬁned as an instruction given to LCD to do a predeﬁned task. For example, initializing
the LCD, clearing the screen, controlling the cursor position, controlling the display etc. The data
register stores the data which is displayed on the LCD screen. The data is the ASCII value of the
character which is displayed on the LCD screen.

METHODOLOGY
5.1 Block Diagram and Description
Block Diagram:
Figure 5.1: Block Diagram[9]

Description:
The block diagram mainly consist of six parts
1) Power Supply
2) Ultrasonic Sensor Unit
3) Microcontroller
4) 16X2 LCD Display
5) Object
1)Power Supply:It is a key block in the project which will be powering to the LCD,MCU and
Ultrasonic Sensor
2)Ultrasonic Sensor Unit: A good sensor according to the requirements.
3)Microcontroller: Here we are using Atmega 32 which is used for all the computations needed.
4)16X2 LCD Display:In order to display the distance measured this block is required.
5)Object:It is that thing whose distance is to be measured from the system.

5.2 Flowchart
The ﬂowchart below show for obtaining the time taken before the distance will be calculate.
Figure 5.2: Flowchart

Figure 5.3: Flowchart

5.3 Implementation
The technique of distance measurement using ultrasonic in air include continuous wave and pulse
echo technique. In the pulse echo method, a burst of pulses is sent through the transmission
medium and is reflected by an object kept at special distance. The time taken for the pulse to
propagate from transmitter to receiver is proportional to the distance of object. For contact less
measurement of distance, the device has to rely on the target to reflect the pulse back to itself.
The target needs to have a proper orientation that is it needs to be perpendicular to the direction of
propagation of the pulses. The amplitude of the received signal gets significantly attenuated and is
a function of nature of the medium and the distance between the transmitter and target. The pulse
echo or time-of-flight method of range measurement is subject to high levels of signal attenuation
when used in an air medium,thus limiting its distance range.
5.3.1 Ultrasonic Sensor Interface with Microcontroller
These modules are designed to be used for microcontroller based applications hence optimized for
it. The interface is a single pin called SIG (signal). The MCU is connected to the Ultrasonic Sensor
Module by a single i/o line. The steps required to read distance are :
1. Microcontroller make the i/o line output. (by using the DDRx Register in AVR )
2. The i/o line is made low (this may be the default state of i/o pin)
3. Wait for 10uS
4. Make the i/o line high.
5. Wait for 15uS
6. Make the i/o line low
7. Wait for 20uS
8. Now make it input (by using the DDRx Register in AVR)
9. Module will keep it low. Wait till it is low, as soon as it becomes high start the timer.
10. After that wait till it is high, as soon as it becomes low copy the timer value and stop the timer.

11. Finally we have the time required for the wave to go hit the obstacle and come back to the
module.
Figure 5.4: Ultrasonic sensor interface with MCU
If the pulse width is in microseconds, the distance can be calculated by the following formula :
Distance in cm = Pulse width/58
Distance in inches = Pulse width/148
5.3.2 16X2 LCD Interface with MCU
162 LCD can be interfaced with a microcontroller in 8 Bit or 4 Bit mode. These differs in how data
and commands are send to LCD. In 8 Bit mode character data (as 8 bit ASCII) and LCD command
are sent through the data lines D0 to D7. That is 8 bit data is send at a time and data strobe is given
through E of the LCD.But 4 Bit mode uses only 4 data lines D4 to D7. In this 8 bit data is divided
into two parts and are sent sequentially through the data lines. The idea of 4 bit communication
is introduced to save pins of microcontroller. 4 bit communication is bit slower than 8 bit but this
speed difference has no signiﬁcance as LCDs are slow speed devices. Thus 4 bit mode data transfer
is most commonly used.
