PicoBat running on a bread board

An ultrasonic bat detector with only 3 components !

Contents

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

        CMCON0 = 7 ;

        TRISIO = 0 ;
        GPIO = 0b01 ;

        for(;;)
                {

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
