When the transmit pin is set to 1 * for 10us, on the falling edge the transmitter sends a short transmission of * 8 pulses (like a sonar 'ping'). This is reflected off objects and received * by the receiver. A pulse is sent on the receive pin whose length is equal * to the delay between the transmission of the pulse and the detection of * its echo. The distance of the reflecting object is calculated by halving * the time (to allow for the out and back distance), then multiplying by the * speed of sound (assumed to be constant). * * This driver polls the HC-SR04 by sending the trigger pulse and then measuring * the length of the received pulse. If the calculated distance is less than * the threshold, the output state returned by a read() call changes to 1. If * the distance is greater than the threshold plus a hysteresis margin, the * output changes to 0. The device also supports readAnalogue(), which returns * the measured distance in cm, or 32767 if the distance exceeds the * offThreshold. * * It might be thought that the measurement would be more reliable if interrupts * were disabled while the pulse is being timed. However, this would affect * other functions in the CS so the measurement is being performed with * interrupts enabled. Also, we could use an interrupt pin in the Arduino for * the timing, but the same consideration applies. In any case, the DCC * interrupt occurs once every 58us, so any IRC code is much faster than that. * And 58us corresponds to 1cm in the calculation, so the effect of * interrupts is negligible. * * Note: The timing accuracy required for measuring the pulse length means that * the pins have to be direct Arduino pins; GPIO pins on an IO Extender cannot * provide the required accuracy. */ #ifndef IO_HCSR04_H #define IO_HCSR04_H #include "IODevice.h" class HCSR04 : public IODevice { private: // pins must be arduino GPIO pins, not extender pins or HAL pins. int _trigPin = -1; int _echoPin = -1; // Thresholds for setting active state in cm. uint8_t _onThreshold; // cm uint8_t _offThreshold; // cm // Last measured distance in cm. uint16_t _distance; // Active=1/inactive=0 state uint8_t _value = 0; // Factor for calculating the distance (cm) from echo time (ms). // Based on a speed of sound of 345 metres/second. const uint16_t factor = 58; // ms/cm public: // Static create function provides alternative way to create object static void create(VPIN vpin, int trigPin, int echoPin, uint16_t onThreshold, uint16_t offThreshold) { if (checkNoOverlap(vpin)) new HCSR04(vpin, trigPin, echoPin, onThreshold, offThreshold); } protected: // Constructor perfroms static initialisation of the device object HCSR04 (VPIN vpin, int trigPin, int echoPin, uint16_t onThreshold, uint16_t offThreshold) { _firstVpin = vpin; _nPins = 1; _trigPin = trigPin; _echoPin = echoPin; _onThreshold = onThreshold; _offThreshold = offThreshold; addDevice(this); } // _begin function called to perform dynamic initialisation of the device void _begin() override { pinMode(_trigPin, OUTPUT); pinMode(_echoPin, INPUT); ArduinoPins::fastWriteDigital(_trigPin, 0); #if defined(DIAG_IO) _display(); #endif } // _read function - just return _value (calculated in _loop). int _read(VPIN vpin) override { (void)vpin; // avoid compiler warning return _value; } int _readAnalogue(VPIN vpin) override { (void)vpin; // avoid compiler warning return _distance; } // _loop function - read HC-SR04 once every 50 milliseconds. void _loop(unsigned long currentMicros) override { read_HCSR04device(); // Delay next loop entry until 50ms have elapsed. delayUntil(currentMicros + 50000UL); } void _display() override { DIAG(F("HCSR04 Configured on Vpin:%d TrigPin:%d EchoPin:%d On:%dcm Off:%dcm"), _firstVpin, _trigPin, _echoPin, _onThreshold, _offThreshold); } private: // This polls the HC-SR04 device by sending a pulse and measuring the duration of // the pulse observed on the receive pin.
