Object-Detection-Avoidance using HC-SR04 and ARDUINO on Pixhawk

This will set you up on how to integrate cheap HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor and arduino uno for Object detection and avoidance on a Pixhawk 2.4.8 and even the cube(Wiring for the telemetry will start from right i.e 5v will be be on right followed by TX & Rx). The arduino will communicate with the pixhawk and will override the Tx input to achieve avoidance when the sensor detects obstacle. Currently the code supports only the PITCH movement(FRONT - BACK) and can be added with ROLL (LEFT - RIGHT) movement aswell.

PITCH CALCULATION

----EXAMPLE 1.1----

Assume...

Distance from Obstacle (FRONT_SENSOR) = 40cm } Drone must move back to avoid the obstacle

EQUATION ...

PITCH_BACK = 1500+30+((70-FRONT_SENSOR)*6); PITCH_BACK = 1500+30+((70-40)*6); PITCH_BACK = 1500+30+((30)*6); PITCH_BACK = 1500+30+(180); PITCH_BACK = 1500+210; PITCH_BACK = 1710; // This is the Pitch value that must be sent to the pixhawk when an object is detected at 40cm

----EXAMPLE 1.2----

Assume...

Distance from Obstacle (FRONT_SENSOR) = 20cm } Drone must move back to avoid the obstacle

EQUATION ...

PITCH_BACK = 1500+30+((70-FRONT_SENSOR)*6); PITCH_BACK = 1500+30+((70-20)*6); PITCH_BACK = 1500+30+((50)*6); PITCH_BACK = 1500+30+(300); PITCH_BACK = 1500+330; PITCH_BACK = 1830; // This is the Pitch value that must be sent to the pixhawk when an object is detected at 20cm

----EXAMPLE 2.1----

Assume...

Distance from Obstacle (BACK_SENSOR) = 60cm } Drone must move forward to avoid the obstacle

EQUATION ...

PITCH_FRONT = 1500-30-((70-BACK_SENSOR)*6); PITCH_FRONT = 1500-30-((70-60)*6); PITCH_FRONT = 1500-30-((10)*6); PITCH_FRONT = 1500-30-(60); PITCH_FRONT = 1470-60; PITCH_FRONT = 1410; // This is the Pitch value that must be sent to the pixhawk when an object is detected at 60cm

----EXAMPLE 2.2----

Assume...

Distance from Obstacle (BACK_SENSOR) = 20cm } Drone must move forward to avoid the obstacle

EQUATION ...

PITCH_FRONT = 1500-30-((70-BACK_SENSOR)*6); PITCH_FRONT = 1500-30-((70-20)*6); PITCH_FRONT = 1500-30-((50)*6); PITCH_FRONT = 1500-30-(300); PITCH_FRONT = 1470-300; PITCH_FRONT = 1170; // This is the Pitch value that must be sent to the pixhawk when an object is detected at 20cm
