URM07-UART_Ultrasonic_Sensor_SKU__SEN0153-DFRobot

Introduction

An ultrasonic sensor measures distance by calculating the time difference between sending a signal and receiving an echo from an object. It uses echolocation to measure distances, just like a bat.

The URM07 is an ultra low-power sensor. The effect range is up to 7.5m, and it has a wide range power supply of 3.0 - 5.5V. It is directly compatible with 3.3V or 5V devices such as Arduino, Raspberry Pi .etc. The average operating current is only 5mA and standby current is only 14uA.

According to the principle of ultrasound sensors, the accuracy of the distance value will be affected by the air temperature and wind direction, so using a DFRobot URM07 built-in temperature sensor, you can read the ambient temperature, and automatically calculate temperature compensation. The sensor uses an integrated ultrasonic probe with a detection angle of approximately 60° in a compact and lightweight unit. The unit uses a 2.54mm pitch 4Pin interface, using UART communication, compatible with most common microcontrollers.

URM07 UART ultrasonic distance sensors have undertaken rigorous road testing and optimization. We guarantee that this sensor has first-class response speed, ultra high stability, the highest sensitivity and ultra low power consumption. If you have harsh environmental requirements for your sensor performance in your design, the URM07 is definitely the best choice.

Read the Measured Distance

The host sends a frame command to the ultrasonic module through the UART interface to trigger the module to start detecting, and then receives the distance value command returned by the module.

For example, the address of the ultrasonic module is 0x11, the host sends: 0x55 0xAA 0x11 0x00 0x02 0x12 [ 55 AA 11 00 02 12 ]

Checksum ------- 0x29

Set the Address of the Ultrasonic Module

The host sets the ultrasonic module address via the UART interface.

For example, set the ultrasonic module address 0x12, the host sends: 0x55 0xAA 0xAB 0x01 0x55 0x12 0x12 [ 55 AA AB 01 55 12 12 ]

Description:
Frame header --------- 0x55

Data length ----- 0x01
Command --------- 0x55
Set the address ----- 0x12 (need to set the device address 0x12) Checksum ------- 0x12

Set the success of the ultrasonic module return command 0x55 0xAA 0x12 0x01 0x55 0xCC 0x33

Set the UART Communication Baud Rate

The host sets the ultrasonic module communication baud rate via the UART interface.

Arduino URM07 Ultrasonic Tutorial

Requirements

• Hardware
  • DFRduino UNO (or similar) x 1
  • URM07-UART Ultrasonic Sensor xn
  • M-M/F-M/F-F Jumper wires

• Software
  • Arduino IDE [https://www.arduino.cc/en/software| Click to Download Arduino IDE from Arduino®]

Here are some notes:

1. With a single URM07 module, a generic device address 0xAB can be used instead if the device address is unknown.
2. Before the power on the URM07 module is not started, set the TX port to high and lower the RX port, and maintaining more than 1s can enable the module parameters to revert to factory settings.
3. After the factory reset, the module can not start normally to enter a normal communication state, the on-board LED light flash with 10Hz. The module starts normally when powered back on.
4. After the module is started, the module on-board LED only lights up the indication during the process of receiving the data and processing, and the LED goes out when in the standby state.
