Hello all,
I hope someone can give me some much needed advice on setting the HC-SR04 Range Finder with a PICAXE 14M2.
I have spent some time searching the net and also in this forum but cannot find the exact solutions I need thus I have started a thread hopefully to get some help. I would not be anywhere near the same level as many of you on the forum in terms of writing programming code but I will have a fair idea of what I'm told...so go easy please
As part of a school project a pupil is looking to create a circuit that will detect how high he has jumped off the ground on his skateboard. We are in the process of building the circuit. The Input is a HC-SR04 Range Finder and I am open to suggestions for the Output but either LEDs/LCD/7 Seg would be fine.
I will need some help with the coding at a later stage but the first piece of information I would need is what pin method should I set it up as and what do I need to link to do so? I have read that the HC-SR04 is NOT the same as the SRF04 and SRF05.
The overall aim of the circuit is that the HC-SR04 will be mounted to the skateboard, when the pupil goes to make a jump it will detect the highest point he jumped and display this information for say 15 seconds so obviously I would need the HC-SR04 set up to pick up changes fairly quickly.
Thank you in advance for any help received,
Seán
