Summary of the Circuit
This circuit is designed around the Arduino UNO microcontroller, which serves as the central processing unit. The circuit includes an HC-SR04 Ultrasonic Sensor for distance measurement, a blue LED for indication purposes, and a resistor to limit the current through the LED. The Arduino UNO controls the LED and reads data from the ultrasonic sensor.
