Distance Measurement Project with HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor and UART Transmission in ChipInventor

In this tutorial, you will learn how to develop and program a distance measurement project using the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor on an FPGA, with data transmission via UART to an external device (such as a computer). The entire development process will be carried out in ChipInventor, using pre-configured blocks for quick and efficient implementation.

In this project, the HC-SR04 sensor measures the distance, and the result is transmitted via UART to a serial interface. An LED on the hardware indicates when a data transmission is complete. Let’s create the project:

  • Name: HC-SR04 Distance Sensor with UART.

  • Description: Distance measurement project with the HC-SR04 sensor and data transmission via UART.

  • Type: FPGA.
