For one project (will post it later here) I had to draw a electrical circuit, a kind of clear and understandable one.
In some cases its great to have still after years a circuit of some DIY projects to understand and be able to reproduce them :)

I tried to look around for some newer circuit drawing tools and my decision falls again to KiCad.

Arduino SRF08

The speed of the sound in the dry air (20° C) is around 343 m/s. Send a short ultrasonic pulse at Frequency of 40Khz in the air, and try to listen to the echo. Of course you won’t hear anything (only a little click noise), but with an ultrasonic sensor the back pulse can be detected. If you know the time of the forth & back travel of the ultrasonic wave, you know the distance, divide the distance by two and you know the range from the ultrasonic sensor to the first obstacle in front of it.
