Ultrasonic distance HC-SR04 with TinkerPie
Bat-style sonar. Use the 3.3 V HC-SR04P, or a divider on ECHO for the 5 V version.
| Type | Timing sensors |
|---|---|
| Connect to | TRIG and ECHO on two pins (or one pin for 3-pin modules) |
| Gives | cm (2-400), -1 = no echo |
| Simulator | Yes: a control appears under the simulated board |
How to wire it
One or two signal pins on S1-S4 or P10-P13. Studio reads them with precise timing in the board firmware.
