Summary of the Circuit
This circuit is designed around the Arduino UNO microcontroller board, which serves as the central processing unit. The circuit includes an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Distance Sensor for measuring distances using ultrasonic waves, a red two-pin LED for visual indication, and a resistor to limit the current through the LED. The Arduino UNO is responsible for controlling the sensor and the LED based on the programmed logic.
