In Raspberry Pi 3 B+ and ultrasonic sensor ,we connect the sensor with the microcontroller.

Distance Measurement with Raspberry Pi and Ultrasonic Sensor ThinkSpeak Visualisation

Overview

This project enables distance measurement using a Raspberry Pi and an ultrasonic sensor. The ultrasonic sensor sends and receives sound waves to calculate the distance to an object, making it a useful tool for various applications.

Hardware Components

• Raspberry Pi (any model with GPIO pins)
• Ultrasonic Sensor (e.g., HC-SR04)
• Jumper Wires
• Power Supply for Raspberry Pi

Prerequisites

• Raspberry Pi OS installed on your Raspberry Pi
• Python 3.x

Wiring

Connect the ultrasonic sensor to the Raspberry Pi's GPIO pins as follows:

• VCC to 5V
• Trig to GPIO Pin (e.g., GPIO17)
• Echo to GPIO Pin (e.g., GPIO18)
• GND to GND

Usage

1. Clone this repository to your Raspberry Pi.

git clone https://github.com/mrnithish/ThinkSpeak_Ultrasonic.git

2. Navigate to the project directory.

cd ThinkSpeak_Ultrasonic

3. Run the Python script to measure distances.

python main.py

4. The script will display real-time distance measurements on the console.

Configuration

• You can configure the GPIO pins and measurement parameters in the main.py script to match your setup.
