Description

This project shows how to monitor the distance from an object based on the ultrasonic HC-SR04 sensor and Arduino. The arduino pushes the measured distances to the AskSensors IoT platform through ESP-01 WiFi.

Details

This project may be useful for makers and companies looking for a remote access their sensors data over the cloud. It shows the example of monitoring the distance measured by an ultrasonic sensor with Arduino and connected to the AskSensors IoT cloud.
