Sonar Class
Uses sonar to calculate distance by sending a ping and measuring the time lapsed before receiving the echo.
The maximum distance that can be measured is 165 Centimetres.
Sonar works best to detect objects with hard surfaces that reflect sound well. The sonar sensor
may detect a closer object off to the side instead of a farther object straight ahead.
The Arduino pins assigned for the sonar module are configured in the firmware settings.

- Inheritance
- Object Sonar
| DistanceAcquired |
Returns true if a distance value has been calculated from the sonar echo. Returns false if no echo was received in time.
|
| Clear |
Clears the current distance value.
|
| GetDistance |
Gets the distance calculated from the sonar echo after calling Ping().
A value of -1 indicates no echo was received in time. Note that a call to this method
will reset the distance to -1. Therefore, the caller should store the
value returned in a variable.
|
| Ping |
Sends one ping using a sonar module.
