Ultrasonic Sensor

Hi, I have built the ultrasonic sensor ranger with the help of



formatting link



but it is not working.



Explanation of the sensor:



Base on the availability of the component I choose,



( I )


  1. ICM7555 instead of TLC555
  2. CA3130 instead of CA5160 and
  3. LM567.
  4. PIEZO ULTRASONIC SENSOR: Module T40-1601

R40-1601, Center Frequency:



40.0khz, with 1.0 khz variation. Etc.

( I I )


  1. Since the reset pin is remain high after given power on transmitter module, I am adding 10k resistance between ground and reset pin.


  1. At 5 volt supply [after step ( I I ) . 1 ] to the reset pin, it is generating ultrasonic sound. (Test cond: make CT capacitor value dauble of the transmitter, now this will generate nearly 20khz frequency. This range can be tested on multimeter audible frequency tester.)



( I I I )



Nothing happed on receiving end.



Please take look in this issue, and tell me the possible way to solve it.



Thanks
