Description
The HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor is a popular and highly reliable distance-measuring module used in robotics, automation, and IoT applications.
It uses ultrasonic sound waves to measure distance to an object with excellent precision and stability.
With an easy 2-pin digital interface (TRIG + ECHO), this module is extremely simple to integrate into microcontroller projects, making it ideal for students, beginners, hobbyists, and professional developers.
Common uses:
-
Obstacle detection in robots
-
Smart parking systems
-
Liquid level monitoring
-
Security and object sensing
-
Industrial automation
-
IoT distance monitoring
The HC-SR04 works perfectly with 3.3V and 5V MCUs (with proper level shifting for ECHO), including STM32, Raayan Mini, ESP32, Arduino, Raspberry Pi, and more.
