Summary

Ultrasonic ranger module with six RGB LEDs. Measures distance and provides visual feedback via left and right LED groups, with analog and digital outputs.

Description

The 6 RGB LEDs Ultrasonic Ranger RUS-04 (Ping) detects distance using ultrasonic pulses. It includes two groups of three RGB LEDs (left and right) for visual indication of distance or status, with adjustable brightness and initial color values. The module supports configurable pause time, ping duration, timeout, and measurement units (cm, inches, or raw time). Outputs include analog distance, a single digital distance output, timeout signal, and ping trigger. An **Echo (digital)** pin connects to the board for reading the ultrasonic echo directly.
