The study presents research on determining the real-time position of a moving object. An HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor, configured on an Arduino development board, was used to determine its position. In the first application, the sensor was used to count parts or products that pass through a drive belt in a production unit. In the second application, the sensor was used to measure the level of filling in a pool. The sensor was mounted above the pool. The fill percentage was displayed in the Serial Monitor window of the Arduino software. The results of the study aimed to identify a solution for monitoring an object / point in real time at a low cost.
