A new Arduino DIY project: Making an Trailer Parking Sensor. But you can use this as the parking sensor for your car as well.

Two x Arduino Nano, two x NRF24L01, JSN-SRO4T and a buzzer almost all it takes to build this sensor.

WARNING: if you want to attempt to build this project using our method and / or code is it important that as the driver you must always be in full control and never rely on devices like this.

The schematics and code are coming soon!

  1. exactly what I was looking for. Could you please share the wiring diagram? Also, what were those wires called? (the ones instead of jumper wires)

  2. You guys are awesome. This channel should have at least 5 digit subscribers by now. Superb video. I love the portability of it

  3. can the sensor detect human with soft cloth? cloth reflect ultrasound badly.

  4. I really like the idea of having the sensor and transmitter in a box that is attached with magnets.

    A phase 2 for this project may be to obtain power via the backlight on the trailer. Modern trailers with a 13-pin connector support a rear light when the car is reversed. But you must then have a converter from 12 volts to 5 volts. Then you could mount one or more sensors on the trailer.

  5. Thanks guys. This is nice. In your video you mentioned you would have the code and wiring diagram with your description. I am not seeing either and hoping you will post them.

  6. Useful project, with easily available parts. Easy attaching and detaching is nice for those who don't own trailers themselves, but have to use rented or borrowed trailers.
    If this was made permanent, power could be taken from the reversing light. But all things considered, I think your solution is perfect. When the sensor is only attached when needed, it won't gather dirt or ice, which would affect it's performance.
