Ultrasonic sensor not responding

Hi,
Why are you using a Library at all, I find the follwing works fine with many types of U/S sensors.

My favourite code is, and you can use most pins.

---------------------------------------------------------
long scanner(long cm)
{
	const int pingPin=7, EchoPin=8;
	long duration;

	// The SRF005/HC-SR06 is triggered by a HIGH pulse of 2 or more microseconds.
	// Give a short LOW pulse before to ensure a clean HIGH pulse:
	pinMode(pingPin, OUTPUT);
	pinMode(EchoPin, INPUT);  

	digitalWrite(pingPin, LOW);
	delayMicroseconds(2);
	digitalWrite(pingPin, HIGH);
	delayMicroseconds(2);
	digitalWrite(pingPin, LOW); 
	duration = pulseIn(EchoPin, HIGH);
	delay(100);

	// convert the time into a distance
	// inches = microsecondsToInches(duration);
	cm = microsecondsToCentimeters(duration);
	return (cm);
}
//------------------------------------------------------------------
long microsecondsToCentimeters(long microseconds)
{
	// The speed of sound is 340 m/s or 29 microseconds per centimeter.
	// The ping travels out and back, so to find the distance of the
	// object we take half of the distance travelled.
	return microseconds / 29 / 2;
}
