We power the module using vcc ground it using gnd and use our raspberry pi to send an input signal to trig which triggers the sensor to send an ultrasonic pulse.
Ultrasonic sensor raspberry pi circuit.
Ultrasonic theremin with scratch for raspberry pi.
The sensor i choose for such a project is the hc sr04 sensor.
Ground gnd echo pulse output echo trigger pulse input trig and 5v supply vcc.
A basic ultrasonic sensor consists of one or more ultrasonic transmitters basically speakers a receiver and a control circuit.
Connect one end of the 330ω resistor to the echo pin.
Raspberry pi 2 or 3.
The raspberry pi ultrasonic sensor interface is different from interfacing led button lcd motors etc.
Ultrasonic distance measurement with raspberry pi raspberry pi piday raspberrypi here s an excellent project for to make ultrasonic distance measurements.
These small modules are available starting at 1 2 bucks and can measure the distance up to 4 5 meters by ultrasound and are suprisingly accurate.
I have been asked to prepare a code that works on python to control 8 ultrasonic sensors connected to a raspberry pi board.
As shown in the figure hc sr04 ultrasonic sensor has four pins pin1 vcc or 5v pin2 trigger 10us high pulse given to tell the sensor to sense the distance.
The system shall be connected to a screen via an hdmi and it should show something like a radar monitor.
This tutorial shows the connection and control.
A brief note on ultrasonic sensors.
Left sided pin vcc is connected to 5v trigger pin is connected to gpio 4 echo pin connected to gpio 17 and gnd pin is connected to raspberry pi ground pin.

Control a ultrasonic distance sensor with scratch for raspberry pi and use in the ultrasonic theremin project of magpi magazine issue 58 note the project uses a python program to send the sensor data to the scratch program.
Below is the circuit diagram for connecting hc sr04 sensor and lcd with raspberry pi for measuring the distance.
Ethernet network connection or wifi dongle the pi 3 has wifi inbuilt.
Make the circuit as per the given diagram.
The hc sr04 ultrasonic sensor we ll be using in this tutorial for the raspberry pi has four pins.
This is because the output of the hc sr04 ultrasonic sensor is at a 5v logic level whereas the raspberry pi works on a 3 3v logic level.
