10 YEAR OLD PROGRAMMER - Arduino Project: Distance Detector in C#
Hello, my name is Joshua. I am The Homeschool Kid.
Today I am going to show you one of my favorite Arduino programming projects. It is called the Distance Detector. This Arduino project came in a kit made for teaching Arduino programming to kids. This kit was made by https://mycreationcrate.com.
The Distance Detector's sensor shoots out ultrasonic sound waves that are so high pitched, you can't hear them. They act like a bat's echo location. Boats use this technology for locating things under water. It's called Sonar. ultrasonic waves are also used in an ultrasound, to take a picture of the baby inside the mom.
This is a picture of the Distance Detector's sensor.
"The Distance Detector" shoots outs sound waves from one of the holes and when they hit the object, they bounce back into the other hole. So, it measures how long it takes for the sound waves to bounce off the object and reach back to the sensor. In this way, it measures the distance of an object.
Watch this video to see the Distance Detector in action.
Stay tuned for more Arduino programming projects.

welldone.., this is good ..keep it up
This is awesome Joshua
very good keep up the good work.i hope to see more.
Excellent article, and very interesting subject. Great job young man!! Keep up the good work. I love learning something new, and everyday I do here at steemit. :C) up-voted.
Right on! Keep up the great work! you have a bright future ahead of you
the item in the first picture looks like a ghetto blaster :) (radio) so I'm thinking this is part of a science project ?
I think you are precious asset to earth's future. Keep it up (y).
nice !! Good job !!
Good work! That is an extremely early start on working on this type of project!
Is it ultraviolet waves? That seems like that would be a light wave not a sound wave. Is it maybe ultrasonic waves that it emits?
Yes, I think he has it switched up. Ultraviolet would not be a good thing for sonograms.
Its a simple sound based module that sends a sound (or call it frequency) and listens to returning sound and measures time difference between sound sent/received. Than you simply do math with sound propagation speed and time delay and get distance.
