This is a very nice presentation style. Cheers 😊

great video :)

[@tombaraniak9404]

If a tube were placed over the transducers, would that focus the ultrasonic beam and allow it (HC-SR04) to have a better response on smaller objects?

[@BenFinio]

That's a good question - unfortunately I've moved on to other projects for now and won't have time to test it anytime soon.

This have to work on the computer

Where are you from

[@BenFinio]

I live in the US, so I'm not sure what prices are like in other countries if that's why you're asking.
