Original Assignment
In this project you will demonstrate that you can measure distances using an ultrasonic transmitter and receiver, at distances up to a few meters. While you could build from components (see, for example, this website), in this project you will use this pre-packaged PING))) ultrasonic sensor. Your results can be displayed on an LCD screen (see, e.g., C Example: Serial LCD or C Example: Parallel Interfacing with LCDs) or on a PC using the USB/RS-232 cable (see PIC RS232).
