CODE
Before coding, you have to install new ping library
https://drive.google.com/open?id=11gy_6v61-Eq0sAz8RJF_sn5Tl0g7z8Cj
Sketch >Â Include library >Â Manage Library >Â Search NEWPING library >Â download it
Or you download NewPing Library from other site.

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:Â 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.
