Overview
The SRF01 is a single transducer ultrasonic rangefinder in a very small footprint PCB. Connection is to a single pin Serial interface. The serial interface is a standard TTL level UART format of 1 start, 1 stop and no parity bits, and may be connected directly to many controllers, such as Ardduino, Basic Stamp or the PICAXE. Baud rate at power-up is always 9600, there is a command to change this to 19200 or 38400 baud if preferred. Up to 16 SRF01's may be connected together on a single bus. The SRF01 can measure in Cm or Inches.
Power Requirements
The SRF01 accepts any voltage between 3.3v and 12v, however the recommended maximum is 5.5v. Internally, it operates at 3.3v and there is a low dropout regulator already on the SRF01 to provide this. The serial I/O pin operates at 3.3v and also 5v tolerant, so you can connect it directly to 3.3v or 5v signals. Operating current during ranging is 25mA, 11mA in standby (waiting for a command) and around 55uA in sleep mode (shutdown).
Single Pin Serial Communication
Serial data is 1 start, 1 stop and no parity bits. Serial data is a TTL level signal - It is NOT RS232. Do not connect the SRF01 to an RS232 port - you will destroy the module! Communication with the SRF01 is with both serial input and serial output on a single pin. The SRF01 will be listening at all times except when it is actually sending data, and will go back to listening as soon as its finished.
Connections
The connections to the SRF01 are shown below. If you're using multiple SRF01's, you can connect them all up to the same serial port on your controller. Just make sure all the SRF01's are programmed to different addresses. There is a weak pull-up resistor (47k) to 3.3v on the module, to pull the Tx line up to a logic high level when none of the SRF01's are transmitting. Our 3-way JST connectors are suitable for connecting the SRF01.
Mounting the SRF01
A rubber grommet is supplied to mount the SRF01. To use this make a 20mm cutout in your panel and fit the grommet. The SRF01 will then snuggly push into the hole in the grommet. Maximum panel thickness is 1.7mm.
