How to Use an Ultrasonic Sensor With Arduino

HC-SR04 Ultrasonic sensors can measure distances fairly accurately and are very useful in many Arduino projects. I've used them in autonomous robots, electronic instruments, and many other projects. They have a range of 2 cm - 400 cm (~ 0.8 inches - 13 feet) and work best against flat surfaces.

This video should help explain how to use an ultrasonic sensor.
