ThingSpeak Updated Code

This document contains code to send ultrasonic sensor distance readings from an Arduino to ThingSpeak every 15 seconds. It initializes the ultrasonic sensor pins, Ethernet connection, and ThingSpeak client. In the loop, it takes ultrasonic readings, prints them to serial, and if 15 seconds have passed, sends the data to the ThingSpeak channel using the sendDataToThingSpeak function.
