This is an Arduino-based Proximity Sensor circuit wired using the popular HC-SR04 Ultrasonic ranging module,used here for non-contact object detection purpose. The HC-SR04 module includes ultrasonic ...

Instead, it relies on an ultrasonic distance sensor to detect a hand (or foot) waved in front of the door. An Arduino Leonardo runs the show, sounding a buzzer when the ultrasonic sensor is triggered.

In this mode, you can interface the HC-SR04 ultrasonic ping sensor with a servo motor and the main board (Only some reward tiers include the extra servo motor PCB and servo motor kit).

The sensors were home-built using ultrasonic capsules soldered into a custom board, ... PVC pipe, weights/pulleys, Arduino and the Radio key fob – were all bought for under 40 dollars.
