Radar With Arduino Using Processing Software

Published on 02 Jul 2021. Written by Karthy R

The RADAR is Radio Detection And Ranging, it consists of a transmitted radio signal aimed by an antenna in a particular direction, and receiver that detects the echoes off any objects in the path of the signal.

In Marine, radars are X band or S-band radars, used to detect the objects in the deep ocean other ships and submarines. In Ship radar used to detect the other ships distance, to avoid the collision on the sea.

An Airport Surveillance Radar (ASR) is a radar system used to detect the present position of the aircraft, the airspace around the airport to land off. Radar plays an important role to control the air traffic system.

In these project ultrasonic is used to detect the objects,processing software shows radar display and distance in metres.

Project Description:

Arduino: The digital and analog input/output pins equipped in this board can be interfaced to various expansion boards and other circuits.The Serial communication interface is a feature in this board, including USB which will be used to load the programs from computer.
Ultrasonic Sensor: Ultrasonic sensor is device which can measure the distance of an object by using sound waves. This sensor has a transmitter and a receiver that sends and receives only ultrasonic sound waves,the sound wave of a particular frequency is used by this device.
Servo Motor: Servo motor rotation is controlled by sending pulse of pulse width modulation(PWM),rotates 90 degrees in either direction for a total of 180 degree movement

Project Implementation:

Interface the servo motor, ultrasonic sensor with arduino uno board
Fix the ultrasonic sensor on the servo motor surface
Create the program on Processing IDE software and check visually

Project Brief: Ultrasonic sensor detects the objects, processing software can see the objects detection in radar form and distance of object on the screen.

Software requirements:

Arduino IDE: You will be needing Arduino IDE software to write and upload the programming logic onto the Arduino Uno board
Processing PDE Software:Processing is a flexible software,learns to programming code and visual arts to check
Programming language: C++ language
