Ultrasonic Raspberry pi (1)

This document outlines a Python script that utilizes the Paho MQTT client and GPIO Zero library to read distance data from an ultrasonic sensor. It connects to an MQTT broker and publishes the distance measurements in JSON format to a specified topic. The script runs in a loop, continuously sending distance data until interrupted by the user.
