Arduino Nano Controlled Multi-Sensor Distance Measurement System with Ambient Light Sensing and Indicator LEDs
View and Edit Project In Cirkit Designer
Circuit Documentation
Summary
This circuit is designed to interface multiple HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensors with an Arduino Nano microcontroller. The circuit also includes several LEDs and a photocell (LDR) connected to the Arduino. The ultrasonic sensors are used for distance measurement, while the LEDs serve as indicators, and the photocell is used for light sensing. The Arduino Nano controls the sensors and LEDs and processes the photocell's signal.
