Design of Ultrasonic Distance Measurement System Based on Microcontroller

The principle of an ultrasonic distance measurement system is introduced. The system adopts non-contact measurement method and it consists of signal generator, echo receiver circuit, microcontroller, time sequential logic control circuit, target distance detection circuit, temperature measurement circuit, RS-485 serial interface circuit, ultrasonic sensor and its driver circuit, etc. The results show that the system has high precision within measuring range from 20cm to 15m.
