Detailed Description

Class library for a HC-SR04 Distance Sensor based on PwmOut (Trig) and InterruptIn (Echo).

Example: 

 #include "mbed.h"
 #include "HCSR04.h"

 HCSR04 distance(PB_8, PA_1);

 int main() {
     while(1){
         SWO.printf("Distance = %d (us)   %f (cm)\n", distance.read_us(), distance.read_cm()); 
     }
 }

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

HCSR04 ( PinName  TrigPin,
PinName  EchoPin 
)

Create a HCSR04 object connected to the specified pins.

Once created, the PWM signal on the Trig pin will start immediately and measurements will start in the background.

Parameters:
TrigPinPwmOut compatible pin used to connect to HC-SR04's Trig pin
EchoPinInterruptIn compatible pin used to connect to HC-SR04's Echo pin
