Stepper Motor and Ultrasonic sensor

I am completely new to arduino and coding, but I want to make a project where the stepper motor (Nema 17) runs upon pressing a start button, and when the ultrasonic sensor detects something within a certain range the motor will stop and be delayed for a few seconds before resuming.

The goal would be to build a conveyor belt that runs and when an object (lets say a container) is detected, an LED indicator light will turn on, the motor will stop and a valve will let out some fluid to fill up the contianer for a certain amount of time (I assume using a delay), then the motor will continue moving and repeat the loop.

I've already figured out the components and wired the breadboard and and built the conveyor.

Good things to share here are a diagram showing all components and their connecting points. Also, verify each component operates with your code before interconnecting the components... to include power supplies.
