   Heres the code. Enjoy:

   #include <NewPing.h>

   #define TRIGGER_PIN 10
   
   #define ECHO_PIN 11
   
   #define MAX_DISTANCE 20

   NewPing sonar(TRIGGER_PIN, ECHO_PIN, MAX_DISTANCE);

   void setup() {
   
   Serial.begin(9600);
   
   delay(50);
   
   }

   void loop() {

   Serial.print("Distance is:" );
   
   Serial.println(sonar.ping_cm());
   
   delay(1000);
   
   }

   thank you ! finally a library that improve the accuracy XD

3. 

   What could be the maximum Distance it can sense

4. 

   Excellent. Thanks for the help!

5. 

   How can I hook up a led so that it blinks when I send a signal to the ultrasonic sensor?
   Thanks in advance

6. 

   What i do if i want an LED to turn on if distance<40 ??

7. 

   Great tutorial – thanks!

8. 

   how can I code it in Arduino Uno R3

9. 

   Substantially better than other tutorials, thank you for making this!

10. 

    How could I make it where when the ultra sonic sensor detects something it plays aduio

11. 

    this library has made so easy

12. 

    Hi, great video. Do you know how to get it to work with Arduino Nano Everyday? Thanks

13. 

    Thank you for not making people have to input in weird math to get a simple sensor working like every other tutorial

14. 

    Thank you great video!

15. 

    what board is this I cannot find it anywhere?

16. 

    Can you send me the parts list for this please?

17. 

    Good introduction

18. 

    Just wondering, I want to make one of these but I also want there to be a vibration motor in the circuit, but I want the vibration motor to only activate if anything gets 6 feet or closer to the sensor. How can I do this? Could you you also please explain what the schematic would look like (because I am not sure where the vibration motor would go)?

19. 

    But it's only showing distance 0

20. 

    Hello sir,, can u please make a video with perfect code.. And ardino uno,,ultra sonic sensor and servo motor… Combined working mechanism..

21. 

    Easy explained

22. 

    This was perfect thanks

23. 

    Can we use Arduino nano instead of Arduino uno

24. 

    ITS NOT WORKING BC IT SAYS NewPing.h No such file or directory plz help

25. 

    thank you very much bro
    god bless you

26. 

    wow I am a kid of 9 years old and I enjoy this, keep the good work up

27. 

    Max distance?

28. 

    great job…very clear explanation.thanks.

29. 

    👍

30. 

    thanks, it was really helpful

31. 

    amazing video.
    but would u give the link of the 3D Software u did it, please!!!!!!

32. 

    Hello! Thank you for the video but mine keep displaying a message like this: " f⸮ ~ ⸮⸮ fxf⸮ ~ ⸮⸮ fx" What im doing wrong?

33. 

    What 3d program did use to demonstrate?

34. 

    how could i make it so that if the distance > 0, it does myservo.Write(90);

35. 

    i cant get NewPing to work is there a way i can copy and paist

36. 

    Can the Echo pin be connected to Encoder IC HT12E pin 10 as an input signal.

37. 

    Can you have 2 sensors Nd one sends the signal the other one receives and you can track the transmitter. I'm trying to make a game with my son where I can find him by tracking him where he's hiding

    const int TriggerPin = 8; //Trig pin
    const int EchoPin = 9; //Echo pin
    long Duration = 0;

    void setup() {
    // put your setup code here, to run once:
    pinMode(TriggerPin,OUTPUT); // Trigger is an output pin
    pinMode(EchoPin,INPUT); // Echo is an input pin
    Serial.begin(9600); // Serial Outpu

    }

    void loop() {
    // put your main code here, to run repeatedly:
    digitalWrite(TriggerPin, LOW);
    delayMicroseconds(2);
    digitalWrite(TriggerPin, HIGH); // Trigger pin to HIGH
    delayMicroseconds(10); // 10us high
    digitalWrite(TriggerPin, LOW); // Trigger pin to HIGH

    Duration = pulseIn(EchoPin,HIGH); // Waits for the echo pin to get high
    // returns the Duration in microseconds
    long Distance_cm = Distance(Duration); // Use function to calculate the distance

    Serial.print("Vzdálenost = "); // Output to serial
    Serial.print(Distance_cm);
    Serial.println(" cm");

    delay(1000); // Wait to do next measurement
    }
    long Distance(long time)
    {
    long DistanceCalc; // Calculation variable

    DistanceCalc = ((time * 0.034) / 2); // Actual calculation in cm
    //DistanceCalc = time / 74 / 2; // Actual calculation in inches
    return DistanceCalc; // return calculated value
    }
