Does anyone know if its possible to build a radar with the US-016 ultrasonic sensor using Processing IDE for a display. I have done this with digital ones but don't know if it's possible with analog.
Yes, it is possible.
any ideas on where to start and on what I may have to change form my previous way for one using a digital sensor.
The only major difference between them is that you use analogRead() to get the distance, instead of pulseIn().
First learn to use the sensor using existing code, then proceed with your project.
Google is my friend, maybe you've heard of it.
Adding Arduino to any search pretty much proves everything has been done already!
Here's a handy short guide, Get this working and develop a feel for what this sensor can and cannot do:

Just be careful to include the +-15 degree cone of coverage with the device. The object causing the echo return can be anywhere in a 30 degree response cone. That means on all axis.
