CODE

Before coding, you have to install new ping library

https://drive.google.com/open?id=11gy_6v61-Eq0sAz8RJF_sn5Tl0g7z8Cj

Sketch > Include library > Manage Library > Search NEWPING library > download it

Or you download NewPing Library from other site.

#include <LiquidCrystal.h> //Load Liquid Crystal Library

#define echoPin 3 //Sensor Trip pin connected to Arduino pin 12

/* The setup() function is called when a sketch starts. It is used to initialize variables, pin modes,

start using libraries, etc. This function will only run once,

after each power up or reset of the Arduino board. */

void setup(){

pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // OUTPUT means the “trigPin” which is actually pin no 13 is directed to give output instruction form the arduino.

pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // OUTPUT means the “echoPin” which is actually pin no 12 is directed to give output instruction form the arduino.

LCD.begin(16, 2); //Tell Arduino to start your 16 column 2 row LCD

LCD.setCursor(0, 0); //Set LCD cursor to upper left corner, column 0, row 0

LCD.print(“Target Distance:”); //Print Message on First Row

}

LCD.setCursor(0, 1); //Set cursor to first column of second row

LCD.print(” “); //Print blanks to clear the row

LCD.setCursor(0, 1); //Set Cursor again to first column of second row

LCD.print(distance); //Print measured distance

LCD.print(” cm”); //Print your units.

delay(250); //pause to let things settle

}

RUN SKETCH AND VERIFY OUTPUT

After compiling, uploading and running it

As far as the object goes far from the ultra-sonic sensor, Distance will be vary and measured distance will be show in LCD

in the Serial Monitor (Tools -> Serial Monitor or Ctrl + Shift + M) the sensor was sending correct data

Note: Must Set the baud Rate to 115200

Ping: 36 cm or the value shown in the serial monitor depends on the object distance from the ultra-sonic sensor.
