Ultrasonic Receiver Circuit

Former Member
Former Member over 10 years ago

I wish to build the Arduino ultrasonic receiver circuit in the attached photo.  The circuit is in the book Arduino Circuits & Projects Guide (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/1907920250?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s03).  The author recommend your site to purchase the components for the circuit (the author dose not provide a list of components).  I do not recognize items 1 & 2 in the circuit nor can I associate them with the schematic. 

 

Please tell me items 1 & 2 are in the circuit. 

 

Thank you,

 

David Sanford

    I would go to the Paralax website and pickup one of their ultrasound kits.

    That purchase would give you the sensors to send and receive the signal with a nice simple Arduino interface.

    Thanks!   I'm building an IR/ultrasonic beacon system and the ultrasonic transmitter and receiver must function independently.

    High David,

     

    As I recall, these ultrasonic transducers are very directional.

    You might need to rotate the transmitter to get full coverage for your beacon application.

     

    You might want to copy the design of the old TACAN radio beacon system.

    They used a rotating beacon and a rotating receiver to get pretty good directional information of the location of the transmitter in relation to the receiver.

     

    Just a thought,

    DAB

    Hi DAB,

      My design is a stationary beacon system for relative position location. 

     

    THANKS
