<strong>Proton</strong> robot developer’s notes:The ultrasonic <strong>se</strong>nsor in the no<strong>se</strong> can ‘look’ quite far and has a wide ‘viewing’ angle. It’sideal for locating obstacles and persons at distances greater that 20cm. It does not workwell for distances under 20 cm.SRF02 Ultrasonic range finderTechnical SpecificationOverviewThe SRF02 is a single transducer ultrasonic rangefinder in a small footprint PCB. It featuresboth I2C and a Serial interfaces. Up to 16 SRF02's may be connected together on a singlebus, either I2C or Serial. New commands in the SRF02 include the ability to <strong>se</strong>nd anultrasonic burst on its own without a reception cycle, and the ability to perform a receptioncycle without the preceding burst. Becau<strong>se</strong> the SRF02 u<strong>se</strong>s a single transducer for bothtransmission and reception, the minimum range is higher than our other dual transducerrangers. The minimum measurement range varies from around 17-18cm (7 inches) on awarm day down to around 15-16cm (6 inches) on a cool day. Like all our rangefinders, theSRF02 can measure in uS, cm or inches.Operating ModesThere are two operating modes for the SRF02. I2C mode and Serial Mode. This is <strong>se</strong>t with theMode pin, connected to 0v Ground for Serial Mode and left unconnected (or tied to +5v Vcc)for I2C Mode. The one u<strong>se</strong>d in this elektor robot is put in the I2C mode by leaving the modepin unconnected.I2C CommunicationTo u<strong>se</strong> the SRF02 in I2C mode, make sure nothing is connected to the mode pin, it must beleft unconnected.Bart Huyskens <strong>Manual</strong> <strong>Elektor</strong> <strong>Proton</strong> V1.0 3 April 2011 65
