KS0375 keyestudio SR01 Ultrasonic Module V2
Introduction
keyestudio SR01 Ultrasonic Module V2 is a very affordable proximity/distance sensor that has been used mainly for object avoidance in various robotics projects. It uses upgraded N76E003AT20 solution.
It essentially gives your Arduino eyes/spacial awareness and can prevent your robot from crashing or falling off a table.
It has also been used in turret applications, water level sensing, and even as a parking sensor.
This simple project will use the SR01 ultrasonic module V2 with an Arduino and a processing sketch to provide a neat little interactive display on your computer screen.

Connection Diagram
Sample Code
#define echoPin 7 // Echo Pin
#define trigPin 8 // Trigger Pin
#define LEDPin 13 // Onboard LED
int maximumRange = 200; // Maximum range needed
int minimumRange = 0; // Minimum range needed
long duration, distance; // Duration used to calculate distance
void setup() {
Serial.begin (9600);
pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
pinMode(LEDPin, OUTPUT); // Use LED indicator (if required)
}
void loop() {
/* The following trigPin/echoPin cycle is used to determine the
distance of the nearest object by bouncing soundwaves off of it. */
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);
digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);
//Calculate the distance (in cm) based on the speed of sound.
distance = duration/58.2;
if (distance >= maximumRange || distance <= minimumRange){
/* Send a negative number to computer and Turn LED ON
to indicate "out of range" */
Serial.println("-1");
digitalWrite(LEDPin, HIGH);
}
else {
/* Send the distance to the computer using Serial protocol, and
turn LED OFF to indicate successful reading. */
Serial.println(distance);
digitalWrite(LEDPin, LOW);
}
//Delay 50ms before next reading.
delay(50);
}
What Should You See

After upload the code to the board, open the serial monitor of Arduino IDE, and set the baud rate to 9600.
Move your hand or a large, flat object closer and farther away from the distance sensor. You can see the measured distance value pop up on the monitor.
