Description: Obstacle avoidance using Ultrasonic sensor

In this project you are going to create a system which is supposed to measure the distance and also
display some information on the LCD and set on led light whever necessary. If the distance is in the
range of 10 to 50 cm then you will display “the risk is high” and set the red LED on, if the distance is
greater than 50cm and less or equal to 100cm then the risk is medium and set the yellow LED on, if the
distance is greater than 100cm then display no risk and set the green light on
