the arduino program cannot connect to the board hence the HC-SR04 connected. Any ideas?

Yes, I have an idea. Please show us a photo of your wiring.

The Arduino program can't connect to what board?

What Arduino program?

Does it work if you unplug all the hardware from the Arduino? If not, your Arduino is at fault. If so, your wiring is at fault.

Which pins are you using for the trigger and echo connections of the ultrasonic sensor?
If you're using pins 0 and/or 1, the connections will most likely be interfering with the Arduino's serial communications. (I'm assuming that you're using an UNO or Mega.)

So... Your wiring is at fault. How is everything connected?
