Ultrasonic Parking Assistant
Difficulty
Sight & Sound
Summary
We saw a version of this project in The Shed Magazine, and thought it would be perfect to build using our duinotech parts. It simply uses an ultrasonic distance sensor to measure how far away the car is from the sensor, and then light up an RGB LED module to let you know how close you are. A simple job perfectly suited to an Arduino.

Future Improvements
To make full use of the Ultrasonic Parking Assistant, it should be mounted on something fixed and pointing towards where the car will be approaching (ideally, right towards the number plate). We found that it could be made flat by gently bending the pins on the ultrasonic sensor and jumper leads 90 degrees, like below:
