# PUCP 2024-2 Alley Radar
## Overview
The *Alley Radar* project is a final assignment for the Digital Systems course. It leverages *C programming* and *embedded systems concepts* to control a radar-like system using ultrasonic sensors and servomotors. The radar scans an area to detect objects and measure distances, displaying the results through a console or external interface.
This project demonstrates integration between hardware components and software, focusing on sensor control, real-time data processing, and motor actuation.
---
## Features
- *Ultrasonic Distance Measurement*: Uses an ultrasonic sensor to detect object distances in centimeters.
- *Servo Motor Control*: Rotates the servo to predefined angles for scanning the area.
- *Real-Time Scanning*: Continuously collects and displays data during operation.
- *Console Output*: Displays distance readings and servo angles in a user-friendly format.
- *Modular Functions*:
- setupServo(): Configures PWM for the servo motor.
- setupUltrasonicSensor(): Prepares the GPIO pins for the ultrasonic sensor.
- moveServo(angle): Adjusts the servo to a specified angle.
- readUltrasonicDistance(): Reads the distance to the nearest object using the sensor.

## Requirements
- *Hardware*:
- Ultrasonic sensor (e.g., HC-SR04)
- Servo motor (e.g., SG90)
- Microcontroller (e.g., TM4C123 series)
- *Software*:
- GCC Compiler for C
- UART interface or other debugging tools

## Setup and Installation
### Hardware Connections:
1. Connect the ultrasonic sensor's TRIGGER and ECHO pins to GPIO pins on the microcontroller (e.g., PE1 and PE2).
2. Connect the servo motor to a PWM-capable GPIO pin (e.g., PB6).
3. Ensure the microcontroller is powered and properly grounded with the sensors and actuators.
### Software Setup:
1. Clone the repository:
```bash
git clone https://github.com/Darkas-Overgold/PUCP_2024-2_Alley_Radar.git
cd PUCP_2024-2_Alley_Radar
2. Compile the program:
gcc radar.c -o radar
3. Flash the compiled binary onto the microcontroller (e.g., using a JTAG programmer).
---
Usage
1. Power on the microcontroller with the radar hardware connected.
2. The servo will start rotating in 10° increments, covering a range of 0° to 180°.
3. At each step, the ultrasonic sensor will measure the distance to the nearest object and display the results in the console.
4. Example output:
Angle: 0° Distance: 50 cm
Angle: 10° Distance: 47 cm

Future Improvements
Integration with a web-based interface for real-time visualization.
Enhanced resolution by increasing the number of servo steps.
Support for multiple ultrasonic sensors to expand the scanning range.
