DIY Arduino Radar System (Rafale Hunter)

In this project, I built an Arduino-based radar system 🛠️ using an ultrasonic sensor 🔊 and servo motor ⚙️.

It scans the surroundings, detects objects, and displays them in real-time just like a mini radar 🎯.

Great project for learning Arduino, robotics & sensors!

Supplies

  1. Arduino Uno R3
  2. ️ Breadboard
  3. ⚙️ SG90 Servo Motor
  4. HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor + mounting bracket
  5. Jumper Wires (Male–Male, Male–Female)
  6. Laptop with Arduino IDE
  7. USB Cable for Arduino
  8. (Optional) Cardboard / 3D printed stand

🛠️Asemble Up!

Mount the ultrasonic sensor 📡 on top of the servo motor ⚙️ using the bracket.

  1. Make sure the sensor faces forward 👀
  2. Secure it with tape, glue, or screws 🔩


⚡Wire Up!

📌 Wire everything like this:

🛠️ Servo Motor

  1. 🔴 Red → 5V
  2. ⚫ Black → GND
  3. 🟡 Yellow → Pin 12

📡 Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04 Sonar)

  1. 🔴 VCC → 5V
  2. ⚫ GND → GND
  3. 🟢 Trig → Pin 10
  4. 🔵 Echo → Pin 11


Push in the Code!
