Robotics Worksheet: Ultrasonic Distance Sensor

Robotics lesson 17: The distance sensor · Set 291 · 40 questions

Robot tip (Half the echo path): Distance (cm) = 17 × echo time (ms), because 34 cm per ms ÷ 2 for there and back. Echo time (ms) = distance × 2 ÷ 34. Distance after driving = distance now − speed × time.
