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. * * Example configuration: * HCSR04::create(23000, 32, 33, 80, 85); * * Where 23000 is the VPIN allocated, * 32 is the pin connected to the HCSR04 trigger terminal, * 33 is the pin connected to the HCSR04 echo terminal, * 80 is the distance in cm below which pin 23000 will be active, * and 85 is the distance in cm above which pin 23000 will be inactive. * * Alternative configuration, which hogs the processor until the measurement is complete * (old behaviour, more accurate but higher impact on other CS tasks): * HCSR04::create(23000, 32, 33, 80, 85, HCSR04::LOOP); * */ #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 (us). // Based on a speed of sound of 345 metres/second. const uint16_t factor = 58; // us/cm // Limit the time spent looping by dropping out when the expected // worst case threshold value is greater than an arbitrary value. const uint16_t maxPermittedLoopTime = 10 * factor; // max in us unsigned long _startTime = 0; unsigned long _maxTime = 0; enum {DORMANT, MEASURING}; // _state values uint8_t _state = DORMANT; uint8_t _counter = 0; uint16_t _options = 0; public: enum Options { LOOP = 1, // Option HCSR04::LOOP reinstates old behaviour, i.e. complete measurement in one loop entry. }; // Static create function provides alternative way to create object static void create(VPIN vpin, int trigPin, int echoPin, uint16_t onThreshold, uint16_t offThreshold, uint16_t options = 0) { if (checkNoOverlap(vpin)) new HCSR04(vpin, trigPin, echoPin, onThreshold, offThreshold, options); } protected: // Constructor performs static initialisation of the device object HCSR04 (VPIN vpin, int trigPin, int echoPin, uint16_t onThreshold, uint16_t offThreshold, uint16_t options) { _firstVpin = vpin; _nPins = 1; _trigPin = trigPin; _echoPin = echoPin; _onThreshold = onThreshold; _offThreshold = offThreshold; _options = options; addDevice(this); } // _begin function called to perform dynamic initialisation of the device void _begin() override { _state = 0; 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 100 milliseconds. void _loop(unsigned long currentMicros) override { unsigned long waitTime; switch(_state) { case DORMANT: // Issue pulse // If receive pin is still set on from previous call, do nothing till next entry. if (ArduinoPins::fastReadDigital(_echoPin)) return; // Send 10us pulse to trigger transmitter ArduinoPins::fastWriteDigital(_trigPin, 1); delayMicroseconds(10); ArduinoPins::fastWriteDigital(_trigPin, 0); // Wait, with timeout, for echo pin to become set. // Measured time delay is just under 500us, so // wait for max of 1000us. _startTime = micros(); _maxTime = 1000; while (!ArduinoPins::fastReadDigital(_echoPin)) { // Not set yet, see if we've timed out. waitTime = micros() - _startTime; if (waitTime > _maxTime) { // Timeout waiting for pulse start, abort the read and start again _state = DORMANT; return; } } // Echo pulse started, so wait for echo pin to reset, and measure length of pulse _startTime = micros(); _maxTime = factor * _offThreshold; _state = MEASURING; // If maximum measurement time is high, then skip until next loop entry before // starting to look for pulse end. // This gives better accuracy at shorter distance thresholds but without extending // loop execution time for longer thresholds.
