Smart Car Project
Discover the impressive capabilities of the Elegoo Smart Car V3, a project that merges various technologies to address real-world challenges. This innovative vehicle is equipped with multiple features that enhance its functionality and versatility:
Ultrasonic Range Finder: Enables collision avoidance and semi-autonomous navigation.
Optical Sensors: Facilitates line-following navigation.
Bluetooth Connection: Allows for remote control operation.
Infrared Remote Control: Provides an additional method for user control.
Short Range Radar System
In this project, we will design and construct a Short Range Radar System using the MaxSonar EZ-1 Ultrasonic range finder. This system will measure the distance from the front of the sensor to nearby objects, providing precise distance readings. The key components required for this project include an Ultrasonic range finder, a Servo motor, an Arduino UNO, and jumper wires. Additionally, a motor shield is optional but can be used to simplify motor control.
The main component of this project is the MaxSonar Ultrasonic Range Finder.
MaxSonar EZ-1:
Chosen for its precision and versatility, the MaxSonar EZ-1 range finder offers accurate distance measurements from 0 to 255 inches (0 to 6.45 meters) in 1-inch increments with minimal dead zone.
Software Requirements
Arduino IDE: Used for programming the Arduino UNO, writing the code that controls the radar system, and uploading it to the board. The Arduino IDE is open-source and can be downloaded for free.
Processing IDE: Utilized for creating a visual representation of the radar data. This IDE is also open-source and available for free download.
