Summary
In this chapter you have learnt how to interface an ultrasonic sensor. I have also introduced a few uses of the sensor to give you a feel for how it can be used in your own projects. Sensors such as these are often used in hobby robotics projects for the robot to sense if it is near a wall or other obstacle. I have also seen them used in gyrocopter projects to ensure the craft does not bump into any walls or people. Another common use is to detect the height of a liquid inside a tank or a tube. I am sure you will think of other great uses for these kinds of sensors.
