ULTRASONIC SENSOR
A pulse of sound is emitted from some source. One or more receivers then pick up the
sound wave after it has bounced off any obstacles. This echo is then interpreted in various
ways to obtain information about an obstacle
Pros
Cheap
Easy to Use
Cons
Calculating distance
Ex : The sonar sends out a sound to an object that is an unknown distance away.
o That means the sound has to travel this unknown distance twice (there and back).
o Now suppose your microcontroller says the time passed was .03 seconds. How
many meters away is the object from the robot?
