//PURPOSE:

//

//Measures distance using an ultrasonic sensor - Jaycar Part

No:XC4442

//Processor unit is an Arduino UNO - Jaycar Part No:XC4410

//Displays approximate closeness using colours on an RGB LED module - Jaycar

Part No:XC4428

//

//Blue- out of range (3m typically)

//Green- in range, within 50cm-30cm

//Orange- within 10cm

//Red- within 5cm

//DEFINES Region:

//Defines or setups up various constant values and Arduino pin numbers used by
the sensor and the display

//Setup the distances which are displayed by each colour

//these values are in centimeters

#define GREENDISTANCE 30

#define AMBERDISTANCE 10

#define REDDISTANCE 5
//define Ultrasonic sensor module pins here - this is the pins that the sensor is
connected to on the Arduino board.

#define UVCC 10

#define UTRIG 11

#define UECHO 12

#define UGND 13

//define LED module pins here - this is the pins that the sensor is connected to on
the Arduino board.

//LED module is a RGB type module so that various colours can be displayed by
the one module.

#define LEDPLUS 3

#define LEDBLUE 0

#define LEDRED 1

#define LEDGREEN 2

//End of DEFINES Region:

//SETUP Region:

//The setup() method is ran once just after the Arduino is powered up.

//The setup() section is where you do any initialisation steps

void setup()

usonicsetup();

ledsetup();

//End of SETUP Region:

//Main Program Loop Region:

//The loop() method runs continuously after the Arduino has started and has
been initialiseds.

//The loop() section is were you place any code you want to run over and over
again.

byte g=0; //for green led

byte b=0; //for blue led

if(d==0){d=300;} //sometimes returns 0 when not in range

shown

if((d>=REDDISTANCE)&&(d<300)){g=1;} //turn on green LED if amber or

green needs to be shown

if(d>=300){b=1;} //turn on blue otherwise, so you know it's working

ledset(r,g,b); //set the LED's
