In this example we will connect an LCD keypad shield commonly used on Arduino projects and then connect an ultrasonic sensor to this shield. The ultrasonic sensor used is the same one used in the Nucleo and HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor example. Here is the shield
Layout
This shows the LCD and ultrasonic sensor, the shield is fitted to the Arduino pins of your ST Nucleo
Code
You need to import a hcrs04 library and the freetronics lcd shield library for this project
[codesyntax lang=”cpp”]
#include "mbed.h" #include "freetronicsLCDShield.h" #include "hcsr04.h" freetronicsLCDShield lcd(D8, D9, D4, D5, D6, D7, D1, A0); //D12 TRIGGER D11 ECHO HCSR04 sensor(D12, D11); //Serial pc(SERIAL_TX, SERIAL_RX); // Initialize UART connection int main() { //lcd.cls(); //lcd.printf("Distance"); wait(1); int i=1; while (i++) { lcd.cls(); lcd.printf("Distance"); long distance = sensor.distance(); lcd.setCursorPosition(1, 0); lcd.printf("%d cm",distance); wait(0.1); } }
