🚀 Radar System using ESP32

[shirshanag]

🛰️ Overview

This project implements a Radar System using an Arduino, Ultrasonic Sensor (HC-SR04), Servo Motor, and I2C LCD Display.
The system continuously scans the surroundings using a servo-mounted ultrasonic sensor and displays the angle and distance of detected objects in real-time on the LCD.

🧠 Working Principle

1. The servo rotates the ultrasonic sensor from 0° to 180°.
2. The HC-SR04 sensor measures the distance of nearby objects.
3. The LCD displays both the angle and distance (in cm).
4. The process repeats continuously to simulate a radar scan.
