You're welcome. At least make an effort on your own. There are thousands of PIC & LCD schematics out there. My Unicorn kit can be configured this way.

Everyday up until his boss discovers this forum


This project is fairly easy, the only tricky part would be finding instructions regarding the ultrasonic sensor, unless he uses a pre built one that sends out the distance serially.

Try one of these Polaroid 6500 Sonar Ranging Sensor the hard thing is they use lots of power. Polaroid 6500 Sensor

How much power? I assume this project does not need continuous polling.

It draws a amp or more when it sends out a signal I took it out of a camera
the Polaroid 6500 It has a Sonar Ranging Sensor in it

it sends out the signal for about <1ms though, so I do not see any problems :P
