Examples
This example is to display a distance in CM. but you can change to any unit by calculation.
-
import time
import RPi.GPIO as GPIO
GPIO.setmode(GPIO.BCM)
# Define GPIO to use on Pi
GPIO_TRIGGER = 23
GPIO_ECHO = 24
print "Ultrasonic Measurement"
# Set pins as output and input
GPIO.setup(GPIO_TRIGGER,GPIO.OUT) # Trigger
GPIO.setup(GPIO_ECHO,GPIO.IN) # Echo
def reading():
# Set trigger to False (Low)
GPIO.output(GPIO_TRIGGER, False)
# Allow module to settle
time.sleep(0.5)
# Send 10us pulse to trigger
GPIO.output(GPIO_TRIGGER, True)
time.sleep(0.00001)
GPIO.output(GPIO_TRIGGER, False)
start = time.time()
while GPIO.input(GPIO_ECHO)==0:
start = time.time()
while GPIO.input(GPIO_ECHO)==1:
stop = time.time()
# Calculate pulse length
elapsed = stop-start
# Distance pulse travelled in that time is time
# multiplied by the speed of sound (cm/s)
distance = elapsed * 50000
# That was the distance there and back so halve the value
distance = distance / 3
return distance
while True:
print "Distance : %.1f cm" % reading()
time.sleep(1);
# Reset GPIO settings
GPIO.cleanup()
