In this project you will demonstrate that you can measure distances using an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver, at distances up to a few meters. You can either build from components (see, for example, [http://www.micro-examples.com/public/microex-navig/doc/090-ultrasonic-ranger.html this website] or use a pre-packaged ultrasonic sensor.

Original Assignment

In this project you will demonstrate that you can measure distances using an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver, at distances up to a few meters. You can either build from components (see, for example, this website) or use a pre-packaged ultrasonic sensor. Your results can be displayed on an LCD screen (see, e.g., C_Example:_Serial_LCD or C_Example:_Parallel_Interfacing_with_LCDs).
