This project refers to an Arduino sketch which uses an ultrasonic sensor for calculating the time return of the ultrasonic signal emitted by the sensor and the object reflecting the signal back. Then, with the help of appropriate physicomathematical formulas, it performs calculation of the distance between the sensor and the object causing the reflection signal. The distance is displayed in an appropriate LCD display both in inches and in centimeters. This system could be used in security doors, on cars as a helper to park or anywhere else where distance at close proximity is important.
