Abstract:
In this work, a simple, low-cost and reliable electronic module for coupling of an ultrasonic range-finder with a mobile robot’s microprocessor system is presented. A software filter for correct reading of the ultrasonic data is presented as well. Due to the software filter, a shielding of robot and sonar’s electronic modules is not required. In this way compactness and low price of the device construction were achieved.
