INTRODUCTION
The project is microcontroller based range finder through distance sensor. Our project is based on the PIC Microcontroller now the question is why we are using PIC as it has the most important feature of inbuilt ADC, stands for Analog To Digital Converter. The distance measured depends on the quality of the sensor. In our project we are measuring the distance up to 36 cm. The distance sensor can sense the distance of the object and produce an analog quantity corresponding to the distance of the object and using this quantity the range of the object is calculated .Here a PIC microcontroller is used to sense this analog quantity and process it to indicate the range of the object .

PLATFORM USED
Hardware requirements: PIC 16F72 LM7805 REGULATOR POWER SUPPLY RESISTORS CAPACITORS TRANSISTORS FUNCTION NUMERIC DISPLAY LEDS CONNECTORS DISTANCE SENSOR

Software requirements:
Assembler of ATMEL microcontroller series PADS for PCB designing

AIM OF THE PROJECT

The AIM of the project is to design a system which can detect any object and find the range of that object so that presence of it can be detected .It would be helpful where it is difficult for us to see.In case where there is lack of vision or the visibility is not clear this project would be very helpful there .

WORKING OF THE PROJECT

In this project we are working on PIC microcontroller which has inbuilt ADC so it can sense an analog signal at its input and convert it into a digital signal at its output. A distance sensor is connected to the pin of the PIC microcontroller which can detect the presence of any object .As soon as it sense the presence of object and its distance,information of the distance it produces is of analog in nature which is forwarded to the PIC controller ,it process analog signal according to the software loaded in it ,and display it on the FND display and run the buzzer for informing a person that the object is sensed . The distance measured depends on the quality of the sensor.

In our project we are measuring the distance up to 36 cm.

CONCLUSION

CONCLUSION
This system can be used in different industries and can proved to be very helpful in identifying different items very accurately, the only drawback of our system is that it cannot be used for identifying the location. In order to overcome this drawback we can use GPS system to locate the co-ordinates the items position.
