Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 For Obstacle Avoidance System

The HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor uses sonar to determine the distance to an object. This sensor reads from 2cm to 400cm (0.8inch to 157inch) with an accuracy of 0.3cm (0.1inches), which is good for most hobbyist projects. In addition, this particular module comes with ultrasonic transmitter and receiver modules which is used in most of the obstacle avoidance projects like obstacle avoidance vehicles or robots.
