Arduino Mini-Drone Lesson Part 3: Using the HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

The video tutorial explains how ultrasonic sensors work, focusing on the HCSR04 model. It covers wiring the sensor to an Arduino, programming it using the Arduino IDE, and testing it in Tinkercad and real-world scenarios. The tutorial also includes an experiment with sensor readings and adding an LED to the circuit.

Discuss the importance of a common ground when using multiple power sources.

What is a data sheet and why is it important for using the ultrasonic sensor?

What is the role of the echo pin in the ultrasonic sensor?

How can you use an LED in conjunction with the ultrasonic sensor?
