You could still use your original processor with the interaces described in that document. Just make sure that you understand what the interfaces do for you first before worrying about the processor and its software. -- ******************************************************************** Paul E.

If I remember correctly, there was an ultrasonic range-finder project
in a rather old edition of Elektor.
(Early 1980s?)
Try searching for this. You might find a scanned version of this
article.

Has anyone mentioned the Circuit Cellar Jan 2003 article?
I belive this is the one:

Thanks,

Hi, I have built the ultrasonic sensor ranger with the help of "2002MAR08_RFD_DA_AN.PDF" but it is not working. Explanation of the sensor: Base on the availability of the component I choose, ( I ) 1. ICM7555 instead of TLC555 2. CA3130 instead of CA5160 and 3. LM567. 4. PIEZO ULTRASONIC SENSOR: Module T40-1601 R40-1601, Center Frequency: 40.0khz, with 1.0 khz variation. Etc. ( I I ) 1. Since the reset pin is remain high after given power on transmitter module, I am adding 10k resistance between ground and reset pin. 2. At 5 volt supply [after step ( I I ) . 1 ] to the reset pin, it is generating ultrasonic sound. (Test cond: make CT capacitor value dauble of the transmitter, now this will generate nearly 20khz frequency. This range can be tested on multimeter audible frequency tester.) ( I I I ) Nothing happed on receiving end. Please take look in this issue, and tell me the possible way to solve it. Thanks Dibyendu
