Chapter 2: The Ping))) Ultrasonic Sensor · Page 51
ACTIVITY #4: MOBILE MEASUREMENTS
This activity demonstrates displaying the Ping))) sensor's centimeter and inch
measurements on the Parallax Serial LCD. Provided you're using a battery, you can
disconnect from your computer and take the setup to remote locations of your choosing.
Connecting the Ping))) Sensor with an Extension Cable
In order to make room for the Parallax Serial LCD on the Board of Education, we'll
connect the Ping))) sensor to the board with an extension cable. You can then hold it and
point it various places, or use hardware to mount it next to your Board of Education.
Parts Required
(1) Ping))) Ultrasonic Sensor
(1) Parallax Serial LCD (2×16)
(1) 14-inch LCD Extension Cable
(3) Jumper Wires
If you are working from a BASIC Stamp HomeWork Board or a serial Board of
Education Rev A or B, you will also need:
(1) 3-pin header
(3) Additional jumper wires
Ping))) Sensor and LCD Cable Connections
The schematics shown in Figure 2-7 below are identical to the ones that have been used
for the Ping))) sensor and the Parallax Serial LCD up to this point. We will now change
the way these electrical connections are made by adding a cable, so that both devices can
be conveniently connected to your board at the same time. Though the schematics are the
same, the actual cable connections will vary depending on which BASIC Stamp
educational board you are using.
