Car Parking Assistant – STM32 + ARDUINO ide

If you like it, share it

Many of us have a box (garage) where we put the car but, as often happens, we also put so many other things.
Because of this, the parking space narrows and it becomes essential to park the car with centimeter precision.
For the above reason we decided to develop this Car Parking Assistant.

This project is based on

  • NUCLEO-F411RE
  • Ultrasonic sensor, HC-SR04
  • Module display LED 4 in 1 board (8x8led matrix, 4 module fit in one board) based on MAX7219, see here
  • ARDUINO IDE configured for NUCLEO-F411RE, more info are here

The schematics is below, the same in PDF format is here.

The input on P1 (see the schematic) is the ON/OFF of the Car Parking Assistant.
If P1 is OPEN the Car Parking Assistant is ON, otherwise (P1 CLOSED,connected to GND) the Car Parking Assistant is OFF.

If you wonder what it is for?
P1 serves to connect a limit switch to the box damper.
This activates the system when the damper is open and turns it off when the damper is closed.
If you wonder what it is for?
It is used to stop the ultrasound (40 KHz) emission which can disturb the animals.

When the car is arrived at the right distance of the wall (we decide 70cm) on the display appear the word: STOP, and the buzzer ringing for about 20 seconds then stop.
For restart the distance measurement and the buzzer the car must away of about 4 meters.

When the car enter in the range of about 2 meters on the display appear the symbol: <–>

For changes this parameters see the lines 85 and 86, see below.
