hello every one,

i am new to ardunio but not new to coding i code PHP websites and help out at ZPanel
i must say the languages are VERY simmalar! If you want to learn another code do PHP you will know it in no time :D

Any way one of the sport i do is target shooting. This simply shooting indoors and a target. I shoot here http://www.wigantsc.org.uk/.

I am quite intrested and making like an automatic card picture

what i mean is when a bullet is shot and it goes through the card i want to detect where about the bullet when through the card and display it on a screen :D
complexe hey :p

so i through of this
ULTAR SONIC SENSOR

V

CARD # <-----ULTAR SONIC SENSOR

###########

and like cross it
the untra sonic sensors can read distances
i know that and i know the size of the card

so i should be able to work it out.
BUT
my question is can Ultra sonic detect an object the speed of an bullet is there a good Ultra sonic sensore for this job?
1,080 ft/s
(330 m/s)
:s

p.s
i am doing this for free of courcse or else i would not aks for help :p

if not is there any thing that can detect a bullet
what about trainglating piezo tranducters?
cant wait to here what you say my dads responce would be GET THE DATER SHEET lol :astonished:

No it can't.
Ultra sonic sensors work at 40KHz work out how long it takes to do one cycle and the. Work out how far a bulet can travel in that time. It will not be in range fast enough.
There is someone using sound sensors (microphones) to triangulate the position of a bulet on a target, do a search to find the post, it was less than a week ago.
