Code

This document contains an Arduino code for measuring distance using the HC-SR04 ultrasonic sensor and displaying the results on an I2C LCD. It initializes the sensor and LCD, measures the distance in both centimeters and inches, and updates the LCD display every two seconds. The code also includes optional serial output for debugging purposes.
