PicoBat : a PIC-based simple and cheap ultrasonic detector
A short video clip is sometimes better than a long explanation :
The idea of this circuit is to hack the PIC oscillator circuit, by replacing the crystal by a piezo sensor : the frequency of the oscillator then depends on ultrasounds.
Oscillator frequency is then divided by 4 by the PIC, and pushed into a piezo speaker.
It shares the same idea as PicoDetector, the metal detector.
Circuit Schematic
- The ultrasonic piezo receiver replaces resistor in PIC oscillator circuit
- SP1 is any piezo speaker you have

No, there is no mistake, full source code is above !
Download project
Download PicoBat-project.zip file for mikroC : File:PicoBat-project.zip
Includes :
- mikroC PRO project files for PIC12F683, should work also with most of PIC
- picoBat C source code
- picoBat .HEX files
