Arduino Code

This Arduino code measures the speed of sound using an ultrasonic sensor. It sends a trigger signal and calculates the ping time based on the echo received. If an echo is detected, it computes and displays the speed of sound in kilometers per hour; otherwise, it indicates no echo was detected.
