Syntax:
DISTANCE( trigger [, echo ] )
DISTANCE( trig-echo )
Description:
Measure the distance to a target using the HC-SR04 ultrasonic distance sensor.
Four pin sensors have separate trigger and echo connections. 'trigger' is the
I/O pin connected to the "trig" input of the sensor and 'echo' is the
pin connected to the "echo" output of the sensor.
Three pin sensors have a combined trigger and echo connection and in that case
you only need to specify one I/O pin to interface to the sensor.
Note that any I/O pins used with the HC-SR04 should be 5V capable as the HC-SR04
is a 5V device.
The I/O pins are automatically configured by this function and multiple sensors
can be used on different I/O pins.
The value returned is the distance in centimetres to the target or -1 if no
target was detected or -2 if there was an error (ie, sensor not connected).
