📘 Quick Start Guide

1. Connect:

   • VCC → 5V

   • GND → Ground

   • Trig → Digital output pin

   • Echo → Digital input pin

2. Triggering a Reading:

   • Send a 10µs HIGH pulse to the Trig pin.

3. Read the Echo:

   • Measure the time the Echo pin stays HIGH.

4. Calculate Distance:

   • Distance (cm) = Duration (µs) ÷ 58

   • Distance (inches) = Duration (µs) ÷ 148

📦 Package Includes

• 1 × HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor Module
