PicoBat running on a bread board

An ultrasonic bat detector with only 3 components !

Contents

PicoBat : a PIC-based simple and cheap ultrasonic detector

A short video clip is sometimes better than a long explanation :


The idea of this circuit is to hack the PIC oscillator circuit, by replacing the crystal by a piezo sensor : the frequency of the oscillator then depends on ultrasounds.

Oscillator frequency is then divided by 4 by the PIC, and pushed into a piezo speaker.

It shares the same idea as PicoDetector, the metal detector.

Circuit Schematic

  • The ultrasonic piezo receiver replaces resistor in PIC oscillator circuit
  • SP1 is any piezo speaker you have
