Hi, I'm a newbie with Arduino and I wanted to ask how to write a code.
I have connected 2 motors with l293d and need do a sequenze like this :
Read ultrasonic sensor (r=distance in cm )
if (r>4)
motor 1 and motor 2 High
else
motor 1 OR motor 2 High for "t " seconds
when "t" seconds ends
motor1 and motor 2 High
loop sequence .
Start by looking at the examples in the iDE to see the required structure of an Arduino sketch, then look at the Sensors/Ping example to see how to use that sensor.
I do not know what sensor you are using, but when you purchase from Arduino, Adafruit, Sparkfun and other dealers you should have access to sample sketches like:

If not, and it is a common sensor, a Google search is often rewarding:
Your pseudo code is quiet good, translating to real Arduino syntax will not be too difficult. You start by reviewing the core instructions:
Then drill down to review the command details.
So, I would start with working code for the ultrasonic unit, ADD my code to control 2 LEDs instead of the motors. Get all of that working and then work with adding in the motor logic.
