Ultrasonic Sensor Code
This was developed by Washington-Lee (Drexel) intern Sam Muscovitz:
//defining the output and input pins
#define echoPin 7 //for reciving the sound waves from the ultrasound sensor
#define trigPin 8 //for outputting sound waves from the ultrasound sensor
#define LEDPin 11 //for turning on the LED
int maximumRange = 200; //if the ultrasound sensor detects an object within the range of these two variables, it will display the object's distance
int minimumRange = 0;
long duration, distance;
void setup() {
Serial.begin(9600);
pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); //sets the trig pin to output
pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); //sets the echopin to input signals
pinMode(LEDPin, OUTPUT);
}
void loop() {
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW); //outputs a voltage of 0V to the trig pin
delayMicroseconds(2); //delays the arduino for 2 microseconds
digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH); //outputs a voltage of 5V to the trig pin
delayMicroseconds(10);
digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW); //outputs a voltage of 0V to the trig pin
duration = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH); //Takes in the voltage from the echo pin
//Calculate the distance (in cm) based on the speed of sound.
distance = duration/58.2;
if(distance >= maximumRange || distance <= minimumRange){ //checks the range that is returned from the ultrasound sensor
Serial.println("-1");
digitalWrite(LEDPin, LOW); //turns off the LED
}
else{
Serial.print(distance);
Serial.print(" cm");
Serial.println();
digitalWrite(LEDPin, HIGH); //turns on the LED
}
delay(50);
}

Description of Wiring
Connect the Vcc pin on the ultrasound sensor to the 5.0V power on the arduino board
Connect the Trig pin on the ultrasound sensor to the Digital 8 pin on the arduino board
Connect the Echo pin on the ultrasound sensor to the Digital 7 pin on the arduino board
Connect the GND pin on the ultrasound sensor to the GND pin on the arduino board
Connect the positive end of the LED (the longer end) to Digital 11 pin on the arduino board
Connect the negative end of the LED (the shorter end) to GND pin on the arduino board

Raspberry Pi Kit for Consideration
Or from Amazon.
Kit Includes:
Google's new IOT Developers Kit
from TechCrunch
Android Things, Google IoT platform for developers who want to build connected devices, is now out of beta, as the company today announced. After eight release candidates, the last of which launched less than a month ago, Google now deems Android Things ready for primetime. Despite its beta status, quite a few companies started building products for the platform a while ago, including Google’s launch partners for its Android smart displays, which are based on this platform.
Android Things provides hardware and software developers with all the necessary SDKs to build all kinds of IoT devices. The company has partnered with a number of hardware manufacturers to offer developer kits and also offers a developer console that allows for managing devices and pushing over-the-air updates to both prototype and production devices.
The general idea here is to give hardware manufacturers a managed operating system and certified hardware that free developers from worrying about the system and its maintenance and allows them to focus on building their product. Google promises that it will ship stability fixes and security patches for three years, though manufacturers will have options for extended support, too.
