whats that blue colored thing ? Is it a preset ?

If yes ,then whats the value?

[Alkon Tech]

Yes, it's a preset. It's value is 10k.

hey! how to do this without using potentiometer in uno board

[murgendrag]

Arduino: 1.8.0 (Windows 8.1), Board: "Arduino/Genuino Uno"

F:\arduino-1.0.5-r2\ultrasonic_sensor\ultrasonic_sensor.ino: In function 'void setup()':

ultrasonic_sensor:16: error: 'echoPin' was not declared in this scope

pinMode(echoPin, INPUT);

^

F:\arduino-1.0.5-r2\ultrasonic_sensor\ultrasonic_sensor.ino: In function 'void loop()':

ultrasonic_sensor:35: error: 'echoPin' was not declared in this scope

duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH);

^

exit status 1
'echoPin' was not declared in this scope

This report would have more information with
"Show verbose output during compilation"
option enabled in File -> Preferences.

please provide some solution to this problem

Give me some Detailed Description about the LCD Display shown in the above pic.. I need to find it here in INDIA.. Name the Specification of that LCD !

[VISHWAJEETK6]

amazon India has a large variety of arduino accessories including this LCD but the shipping charges are nearly equal to the product ?

[hrx1016 THE INSANE]

It's a 1602 LCD display..

That means 16 columns 2 rows
Equals sixteen characters × two lines
Equals 32 characters in total

Here... I live in India...

Hey! Check-out Excel Tech 16x2 LCD Display on Snapdeal at http://m.snapdeal.com/product/Excel+Tech+16x2+LCD+Display/620291504441?&utm_campaign=AppShare_productShare&viewinapp=1

Thanks a Lot!

hi Murat

How can I change to metric unit for distance measuring ?
