Description
Object ranging is essential in many types of systems. One of the most popular ranging techniques is ultrasonic ranging. Ultrasonic ranging is used in a wide variety of applications including: ? Autofocus cameras ? Motion detection ? Robotics guidance ? Proximity sensing ? Object ranging This application note describes a method of interfacing PIC16CXXX microcontrollers to the Polaroid 6500 Ranging Module. This implementation uses a minimum of microcontroller resources, a CCP module and two I/O pins. The two major components of the system are: ? Microcontroller ? Polaroid 6500 Ranging Module The microcontroller performs the intelligence and arithmetic functions for ultrasonic ranging, while the Polaroid 6500 Ranging Module performs the ultrasonic signal transmissions and echo detection.
