Abstract
RADAR uses radio waves to detect the range, altitude, direction, or speed of objects. Radars have been used for airport air-traffic control, highway patrol, ballistic missile guidance, military exercise and many other applications. In this poster, we developed a low-cost tiny ultrasonic radar system based on Arduino. It utilizes ultrasonic sensors to detect the object in the range and passes the information to Arduino microcontroller. Once the object is detected, two sets of alarm can be triggered. The graphical display utilizes the position of the detected objects on the computer to send visual alarm on LED screen. Sound alarm can also be sent via an audio buzzer. By adjusting the rotation of the servo motor, we allow the sensing to be in range from 0 degree to 150 degrees. It can detect objects up to 400 cm away from the ultrasonic sensor. The prototype of the system is implemented and coding for Arduino control is developed. Experimental results show that the system can detect objects within the range and alarm can be successfully triggered.
