Distance meter with 6 LEDs using arduino and ultrasonic sensor

This is simple distance meter with 6LEDs.
you can replace the last red led with a buzzer.
distance range: <5 to 30cm
ultrasonic module: HC-SR04
NOTE:
Ultrasonic module can detect distance range from 2cm to 450cm but in this project i set the distance range from <5 to 30cm.

code:

#define trigPin 7
#define echoPin 6
#define led 13
#define led2 12
#define led3 11
#define led4 10
#define led5 9
#define led6 8

int sound = 250;

  pinMode(led6, OUTPUT);
 

}
