Ultrasonic range finder - SRF02

Hello,

 

I'm fairly new with Labview, and I am doing an experiment where I am to control the height of the ball in two cylinder tubes. The balls are forced into the air using two fans down the bottom (I am powering them through labview using PWM signals - no problems here), and I am to measure the height of the ball with the provided SRF02 sensors.

From what I understand they require a 40kHz burst sent to the transmitter pin in order to send out a signal, and then the received signal can be measure on the RX pin. However I don't get anything being received, nor do I have any idea about how to hook it up to labview. I currently have a circuit built on breadboard which is made of two 555 timers to produce my 40kHz burst wave.

 

I am using an NI 6221 module.

 

Thankyou in advance for any assistance,

 

Nick.
