srf05

I need help on connecting a srf005 (the blue one) to an Arduino MEGA 1280

You can use this image as a guide.

I want the connection for the srf005 using only three pins. :) (The one where you connect the mode pin to ground)

Thanks,

Hi

I'm new to this forum and i would like to know a few things.

Which one of the following ultrasonic rangefinders do you prefer.

I know that the ez module is designed for indoor environments but i would like to use my robot outdoors

as well,do the ping and the srf05 would outdoors as well.

My robot is going to be a basic obstacle avoiding robot for otudoor and indoor use.

I know the ez is accurate to about 1 inch,what about the accuracies ofthe srf05 and ping but this is really not going to

Hi guys,

First of all, since this is my first topic here, I want to thank you all for this great community. I have learned a lot and I have just finished my first robot thanks to you :) I am now thinking about the next one, and here comes the question !

Im trying to run my start here bot that is has a tamiya twin gearbox and SRF05 instead of the IR sensor on it. All the components work, just not together. I wrote my code (most copied from frits) but my robot just goes forward and back, sometimes sideways about 2 centimetres. Can you post anything wrong in the code that may help to fix this problem

Here are two videos of my hobby level radio control car following the wall around a room.  This car uses channel 3 of the radio control system to toggle between RC control and autonomous control.

Hello, I am trying to connect a SRF05 to my 28x1 PICAXE starterkit.

 Using the "start here" guide and the How to connect SRF05 to Picaxe 28 pin Project board
I am able to make the SRF05 LED flash like the guide says it should, however I am not able to receive any input in debug.

I have connected every wire like in the picture and I am only using the program provided. 

I'm trying to get the PICAXE-28x1 to work with the SRF05 usnig a common input and output pin. The reason is I want to conserve my input and output pins. I've seen discussions on this site about it, but I don't know if anyone ever succeded.

Since the 28x1 allows you to reconfigure digital inputs as digital outputs, I figured it should be possible to use "Mode 2" of the SRF05 with a commmon single input and output.

Here's the code I tried. I also tried some varations the timing, as noted.  No luck so far.

I am working on a much faster & stronger version of Robot Wall Racers, using quite fast RC-cars

I want to use lasers as distance sensors, but I think they will be a little over budget, altough this is a paid for job :)

Yes, SRF05's clai, they can detect a broomstick on 3 meters.. but in reality they are not stable before say 1.5 meters.

1.5 meters when you are traveling at 25km/h is NOT a lot, when you even are set up with drifting tyres.

I just received my SRF05 and I can't wait to start using it.  While I was thinking about it, it occurred to me that I always see the SRF05 mounted on a servo, which allows maybe a 180 degree field of view for a robot. I wondered if anyone ever mounted a range finding sensor on a motor so a robot could see in every direction. 

I think I may try to build a 360 degree range finder, but I wanted to open this as a topic and get some ideas. Here's what I'm planning. Let me know what you think.

Hardware

i dont know what's wrong with my code!

i made a simple code that should make my robot simply avoid walls, stuff etc.

i placed SC-QR-1 (my robot's name) upside-down and pressed [F5] (the "run" shortcut) and watched him move his cute little robot legs..     WTF?

the new code seemed to work untill the walk part was over and he started to turn..    ..left.        and then again left and again and again..    etc.

he is suposed to keep walking!!!
