Legacy HC-SR04 Add-On Library for Arduino

Interface with HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors connected to Arduino hardware in MATLAB.

This add-on is supported for MATLAB R2016a - R2018b. For R2019a and later, this functionality is included with the support package.

This add-on extends MATLAB Support Package for Arduino Hardware to read distance measurements from HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensors. With this add-on, you can read distance in meters or travel time in seconds to calculate the distance more precisely.

Sample usage:
-------------------
% Create arduino object with the add-on library
a = arduino('COM38', 'Uno', 'Libraries', 'JRodrigoTech/HCSR04');
% Create ultrasonic object
sensor = addon(a, 'JRodrigoTech/HCSR04', 'D12', 'D13');
% Obtain sensed distance
dist = readDistance(sensor);

It includes documentation and an example that demonstrates the use with HC-SR04 sensor to get sensed distance.

Important: Before using this add-on library in MATLAB, you need to install the Ultrasonic Arduino library. Here are the instructions:
1. Download the zip file from https://github.com/JRodrigoTech/Ultrasonic-HC-SR04/archive/master.zip
2. Unpackage the zip into local directory and rename the folder to ‘Ultrasonic’.
3. Move the ‘Ultrasonic’ folder into the "libraries" folder inside your Arduino sketchbook folder:
On Windows, the default path is "My Documents\Arduino\libraries\"
On Mac, the default path is "~/Documents/Arduino/libraries/"
On Linux, the default path is "/home/<username>/Arduino/libraries"

Troubleshooting tips:
1. After installing this add-on library and the required Arduino library, type "listArduinoLibraries" in MATLAB to see if the add-on is properly installed.
2. Wire up the Arduino board and the add-on device properly before creating the object to avoid a connection error in MATLAB.
3. Refer to the documentation for details on usage and syntax. It can be found under Supplemental Software in the product documentation.
