An electron app, providing a visual indicator of obstacles observed by an ultra-sonic sensor. An arduino project, using the following hardware parts:

• Ultra-sonic sensor
• Arduino
• Servo
• Breadboard
• Laptop Computer

and software parts:

• Electron
• Johnny-Five
• JavaScript
• PingFirmata

Here's a twitter video demo.

Here's the circuit diagram, done with tinkercad.

The only difference is that the sonar is attached to the top of the servo.

• Flash the PingFirmata program unto your Arduino device. You'll need the Arduino IDE for this.
• Clone this Repository.
• Run npm install
• Run ./node_modules/.bin/electron-rebuild
• Run npm start

Enjoy!
