Help with timer code

Hello everyone.
I have an Ultrasonic Sensor (distance sensor) and i want to calculate how much time something is in front of it (lets say from 10 to 200cm).
What method should i use? Is it possible with the millis() method or the use of a timer?
Thanks

you will get more help if you link to the sensor you're using

Your post does not make much sense.

I want to calculate how much time something is in front of it

Are you trying to calculate how long it will be until a robot reaches that object? Please post link to everything being used and give us more than a few unclear details!

The sensor i'm using is at this link:

What i would like to do is at the void loop of the code given at the link to set a chronometer when "else{ }" occurs.

For instance, if i put my hand in front of the sensor (between maximum and minimum distance) for 5 sec, i would like the program to print 5.

I did a similar project. Try adjusting the code...

Awesome! Did my code help?

It did,yes (with the proper adjustment) :slight_smile:

Glad to hear that!
