# This code reads the distance using HC-SR04P (3-5V) ultrasonic sensor
# via I2C mode and print out the distance on serial. This ultrasound sensor
# uses RCWL-9600 IC and support default (trig-echo), I2C and UART modes.

# Modification: Solder a 10kOhm resistor across R4 pads at the bottom layer
#               of the sensor to enable I2C mode.
