Control different things at different distance with Arduino

In this post I'm going share a sketch with you which (sketch) can turn on and off as many things you want at different distance as you wish. This means you can turn something at a specific distance. For example you want to turn on a motor after 10cm and turn it off at 50cm, you can do this easily with the sketch below.

Note: I've used three leds here if you replace them with relay, motor and other stuff it will still work fine.

Things to change:

Change the pins as you wish.
int trigPin = 2;
int echoPin = 3;
int led1 = 4;
---
Make sure you write OUTPUT to every led.
 pinMode(led1, OUTPUT);
---
if (distance >=1 && distance <=10){
 Remember >= means from and <=  means under.
 And the number you seeing after >= and <= is centimetre/s.

 Here is the sketch.

//define the pins for ultrasonic sensor and leds here int trigPin = 2; int echoPin = 3; int led1 = 4; int led2 = 5; int led3 = 6; void setup() {   Serial.begin (9600);   pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT);   pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);   pinMode(led1, OUTPUT);   pinMode(led2, OUTPUT);   pinMode(led3, OUTPUT); } void loop() {    int duration, distance;   digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH);   delayMicroseconds(1000);   digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW);   duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);   distance = (duration/2) / 29.1; if (distance >=1 && distance <=10){    Serial.print(distance);     Serial.println(" cm");     digitalWrite(led1, HIGH);     digitalWrite(led2, LOW);     digitalWrite(led3, LOW);   }   else if (distance >=11 && distance <=20){    Serial.print(distance);     Serial.println(" cm");     digitalWrite(led2, HIGH);     digitalWrite(led1, LOW);     digitalWrite(led3, LOW);   }   else if (distance >=21 && distance <=30){    Serial.print(distance);     Serial.println(" cm");     digitalWrite(led3, HIGH);     digitalWrite(led1, LOW);     digitalWrite(led2, LOW);   }   else {     Serial.print(distance);     Serial.println(" cm");     digitalWrite(led1, LOW);     digitalWrite(led2, LOW);     digitalWrite(led3, LOW);     delay(30);   } }
