SparkFun Ultrasonic Ranger Info Video

info video features yours truly explaining the basics of ultrasonic range-finding sensors. If you ever want to add distance sensing, or object/motion detection to your project, these sonar sensors are a great option. They're ultra-easy to use, with an analog output (among a couple other output options), you can get one distance-finding in no time. On top of their ease-of-use, I really like the flexibility of these sensors.  You can implement them in both 3.3V and 5V systems (they operate from 2.5-5.5V), and the three different output options mean you can almost always find a pin for them on your microcontroller.
