#Define Echopin 7 #Define Trigpin 8 #Define Ledpin 13: Int Int Long Void

The document describes an HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor and the Arduino code to interface with it. The sensor uses pulseIn on an echo pin to measure the duration of a sound pulse to calculate distance. It sends the distance reading to the serial monitor if it's between 0-200cm, or -1 if out of range, and toggles an LED accordingly. Key pins for trigger, echo and an LED are defined for use in the Arduino code.
