Hinged mount for an HC-SR04 sonar sensor

thingiverse

This is a custom hinged mount designed specifically for an HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor that fits perfectly into the t-slot of vertical 8020 beam components. By incorporating the SoftMatterPhysics mount on a hinge, users can easily adjust the coverage area and angle of the sensor to suit their needs. I created this mounting system because we needed to fine-tune the position of our robot's sonars relative to each other for optimal performance.
