#include "Ultrasonic.h"

//  Connect the signal pin of the sensor to Digital pin 7 on the Autonomo
Ultrasonic ultrasonic(7);

    long RangeInCentimeters;
    //  Measure the distance to the Obstacle in Inches
    SerialUSB.println("The distance to obstacles in front is: ");
    RangeInInches =ultrasonic.MeasureInInches();
    SerialUSB.print(RangeInInches); //0~157 inches
    SerialUSB.println(" inch");
    delay(250);
    //  Measure the distance to the Obstacle in Centimeters
    RangeInCentimeters =ultrasonic.MeasureInCentimeters();
    // two measurements should keep an interval  
    SerialUSB.print(RangeInCentimeters); //0~400cm
    SerialUSB.println(" cm");
