Arduino示例代码讲解：Ping

Ping

这段代码是一个Arduino示例程序，用于读取Parallax PING)))超声波测距传感器的数据，并计算出距离最近物体的距离。它将距离值通过串行通信发送到计算机，适用于需要测量距离的场景。

/* Ping))) Sensor

   This sketch reads a PING))) ultrasonic rangefinder and returns the
   distance to the closest object in range. To do this, it sends a pulse
   to the sensor to initiate a reading, then listens for a pulse
   to return.  The length of the returning pulse is proportional to
   the distance of the object from the sensor.

   The circuit:
	* +V connection of the PING))) attached to +5V
	* GND connection of the PING))) attached to ground
	* SIG connection of the PING))) attached to digital pin 7

// this constant won't change.  It's the pin number
// of the sensor's output:
const int pingPin = 7;

void setup() {
   
  // initialize serial communication:
  Serial.begin(9600);
}

void loop()
{
   
  // establish variables for duration of the ping,
  // and the distance result in inches and centimeters:
  long duration, inches, cm;

  // The PING))) is triggered by a HIGH pulse of 2 or more microseconds.
  // Give a short LOW pulse beforehand to ensure a clean HIGH pulse:
  pinMode(pingPin, OUTPUT);
  digitalWrite(pingPin, LOW);
  delayMicroseconds(2);
  digitalWrite(pingPin, HIGH);
  delayMicroseconds(5);
