The sensor can be used in different mode: single shot or continuous mode. Soft and curved objects give a worse reading. The sensor is more efficient with hard and large surface objects. Range : From 0 to 255 cm (theory range, real range is from 4cm to 255cm due to the “dead zone”).The drawbacks of this technology are the inability to measure very close object (there is a “dead zone”) and the impossibility to use multiple ultrasonic sensors in the same time (they will disturb each other). The wave will then come back to the sensor, and the time between the sending and the receiving is proportional to the distance to the object.

The principle is very simple: an ultrasonic wave is sent by the sensor, and will collide on every object in front of it. As it's everything but cheap I don't expect this tutorial reach hobbyist but could be useful to students.Īs its name suggest, an ultrasonic sensor use ultrasound to measure the distance to an obstacle. In order to teach engineering and to be used like a controller. It’s an embedded hardware device, mostly destined to students for educational purpose. MyRIO is a device developed by National Instruments. The components I'm going to talk about are:

MYRIO FPGA SIMULATION CODE

Sofware: LabVIEW code running on the myRIO to command and/or read the components. Hardware: The components specifications, modifications to make and PCB boards.Ģ. This tutorial assumes you already have a basic knowledge on how LabVIEW works. In order to make everything work together I had to "hack" those components to be able to control them from the myRIO. I had at my disposal a myRIO running LabVIEW and LEGO Mindstorms NXT components. During an internship at the University Transilvania of Brașov in Romania I had to work on a concept of robot for cleaning solar panels. I did this project a while ago during my studies and I thought it might interest some people.

I will explain in this tutorial how to control LEGO Mindstorms NXT components from a myRIO running LabVIEW code.
