Arduino Ultrasonic Servo Wiring

This Arduino wiring schematic connects an HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor and a small servo to an Arduino Uno. The Arduino sends a trigger pulse, measures the echo pulse, and uses that measurement to command the servo. A shared 5 V supply and ground are essential for the signal references to work. The capacitor provides local supply smoothing, but a servo can draw more current than an Arduino USB port should provide. For a moving mechanism, use a suitably rated external 5 V supply and keep its ground connected to the Arduino ground. Check the exact board pin labels in the accompanying sketch and keep sensor cables short where possible.

FAQ

Questions fréquentes

Why must grounds be shared?

The sensor and servo signals need the same voltage reference as the Arduino to be read correctly.

Can the Arduino power a servo?

A small unloaded servo may work temporarily, but an external regulated 5 V supply is safer for moving loads.

What does the HC-SR04 provide?

It emits an ultrasonic pulse and returns an echo timing signal that the Arduino converts to distance.
