API for Grove Ultrasonic Ranger. More...

Detailed Description

This Grove Ultrasonic sensor is a non-contact distance measurement module which is compatible with the Grove system. It is designed for easy modular project usage with industrial performance. Detection ranges from 3 cm (1.2") to 4 m (13'1.5") and works best when the object is within a 30 degree angle relative to the sensor.

UltraSonic ( int  pin)

Instantiates a UltraSonic object

Parameters
pinpin for triggering the sensor for distance and for receiving pulse response
~UltraSonic ( )

UltraSonic object destructor.

Member Function Documentation

int getDistance ( )

Returns the echo's pulse width from the sensor in microseconds. Divide by 58 to convert distance to centimetres. Divide by 148 to convert distance to inches.

std::string name ( )
inline

Return name of the component

bool working ( )
inline

Returns true while the sensor is busy waiting for the echo pulse
