// Define the pins for the ultrasonic sensor

const int trigPin = 9; // Trigger pin connected to Arduino Pin 9


const int echoPin = 10; // Echo pin connected to Arduino Pin 10

// Variables to store the duration and distance


long duration; // Duration of the pulse in microseconds
int distance; // Calculated distance in centimeters

void setup() {
// Start the serial communication
Serial.begin(9600);

// Set the trigPin as OUTPUT and echoPin as INPUT


pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);
pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);
}

void loop() {
// Clear the trigPin by setting it LOW
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);
delayMicroseconds(2);

// Send a 10-microsecond pulse to the trigPin to initiate the ultrasonic pulse


digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);

// Read the pulse duration from the echoPin


duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);

// Calculate the distance (speed of sound in air is 0.0344 cm per microsecond)


distance = duration * 0.0344 / 2;

// Print the distance to the Serial Monitor


Serial.print("Distance: ");
Serial.print(distance);
Serial.println(" cm");

// Wait for a while before the next reading
