The working mode can be changed by writing 0x00, 0x01 or 0x02 to EEPROM through serial port.
Under this mode, the sensor is always waiting for command from serial port. Every time it receives a command, it will return the distance and wait for the next command. The degree in the command will be used to control a servo motor to rotate corresponding degree. Please note that this mode is always on. It can not be switch on or off.
The selection of RS232 or TTL output level is switched by changing three jumpers (J1, J2, J3). A diagram below illustrates the setting: Warning: Do not connect to TTL MCU when the output mode is set to RS232, doing so will permanently damage the unit.
This feature is only available for Rev2 and after. If there are no jumpers on the back of the sensor, the sensor is Rev1 and hence not supporting this feature.
After you have connected the module according to the diagram,you can use our "URMV3.2HelpMate" to test the module online the usage of the software is very simple: ensure that there is no other software on the computer takes up the serial port, and then running mate, select the com port, and choose the parameter what you want to measure,and choose the "continuous reading ".click "Measure" it will measure the temperature and the distance.
Under this mode, the sensor will make a sensor reading every 25ms and compare the reading with a threshold (pre-set, user is able to define this value by writing EEPROM), if the reading is equal or smaller than the threshold, pin COMP/TRIG will have low output. In the meantime, pin PWM will output the distance reading, every 50us low level stands for 1cm, by counting the number of these pulses, the distance can be calculated. This mode can be simply used as an ON/OFF switch. First you need to write the desired distance threshold into the sensor module. Using the serial port and the following code.
The way to write its EEPROM can be found in the code below. And the distance is stored in address 0x00 and 0x01 in cm, that's to say if the threshold you want is 15cm, you should write a 0x0f(as 0x0f is equal to 15 )into address 0x00 and 0x00 in address 0x01,and never forget that once you change the distance threshold,the sum is also needed to be corrected. Details for the data is in the table below. Briefly, works like this cmd1<cmd, address, data, checksum>
''' checkSum = Low 8 bit of the sum of command+data0+data1 '''

Remember to unplug the serial pins from Arduino before uploading your code.
After the code is uploaded, press reset on your Arduino board to confirm it is written on the module. Then you can connect your sensor with the following wiring system. And just read the pin for changes, when the threshold distance is reached.
int pin = 13;
volatile int state = LOW;
void setup(){
pinMode(pin, OUTPUT);
attachInterrupt(0, user_diy, CHANGE); //The ON/OFF switch can be used as a singal of interruption
}
void loop(){
digitalWrite(pin, state);
}
void user_diy() //user can give your own code in this interruput function
{
state = !state;
}
====Mode 3: PWM passive control mode==== Under this mode, a low pull on pin COMP/TRIG will trigger a sensor reading. The width of the pulse is proportional to the servo rotating degree. After a successful sensor reading, Pin PWM will output pulses, every 50us represents 1cm. If the reading is invalid, a 50000us pulse will be returned.
