Story

The work presented in this project aimed to achieve an Arduino Radar system characterized by a security system. Radar is normally used to determine the distance and position of an object. We were particularly interested in programming and reading distances and detection angles of objects to convert data into visual information.

We have acquired several performances from our project. It is characterized a sweet functionality to detect objects in a given interval. The screen clearly displays the information with sufficient time for the user to read it. This project could be useful for object avoidance / detection applications. In addition it could easily be extended and used in all systems that could be useful and beneficial in most areas.
