Arduino project

This document contains an Arduino sketch for controlling a servo lid using an ultrasonic sensor. The lid opens when an object is detected within a specified distance and closes after a delay once the object is no longer detected. It includes pin definitions, setup for the servo and sensor, and the main loop for measuring distance and controlling the lid's position.
