Radar System using Python, Arduino, and OpenCV

Welcome to the Radar System project repository! This project combines Python, Arduino, and an ultrasonic sensor to create a radar-like system that detects and displays the presence of objects in its vicinity. This README file provides an overview of the project and instructions on how to set it up and use it.

Features

• Detects objects using an ultrasonic sensor
• Displays the detected objects on a graphical interface using OpenCV
• Provides real-time information about the objects' distance and position
• Adjustable scanning range and rotation speed
• Supports data logging for further analysis

Getting Started

To get started with the Radar System, follow these steps:

Prerequisites

• Python 3.x installed (https://www.python.org/downloads/)
• Arduino IDE installed (https://www.arduino.cc/en/software)
• Required Python packages: pyserial , opencv-python , numpy

Hardware Setup

1. Connect the ultrasonic sensor to the Arduino board following the manufacturer's instructions.
2. Connect the Arduino board to your computer using a USB cable.

Software Setup

1. Clone or download this repository to your local machine.
2. Open the Arduino IDE and upload the arduino_code.ino sketch from the arduino directory to your Arduino board.
3. Install the required Python packages by running the following command:

pip install pyserial opencv-python ``` 

Usage

1. Open a terminal or command prompt and navigate to the project directory.
2. Run the Python script using the following command:

python radar_system.py ``` 

Data Logging

If you want to log the detected object data for further analysis, follow these steps:

1. Create a data directory within the project directory.
2. Uncomment the lines related to data logging in the radar_system.py script.
3. Run the script as described in the "Usage" section.
4. The detected object data will be logged to a CSV file in the data directory.
