/*
* Ultrasonic Sensor HC-SR04 to NodeMCU using Arduino
* HC-SR04--> NodeMCU (connections)
* trig --> d5 of NodeMCU
* echo --> d6 of NodeMCU
* vcc --> vin of NodeMCU (remember NOT 3v3)
* gnd --> gnd of NodeMCU
* measured distance from the sensor gives output in cm unit
* 0.034 is the cm per uS
*pulsein : Reads a pulse (either HIGH or LOW) on a pin.
* For example, if value is HIGH, pulseIn() waits for the pin to go HIGH, starts timing,
* then waits for the pin to go LOW and stops timing. Returns the length of the pulse in
microseconds.
* LED is used here to give an alarm when the remaining level of tank is less than or equals to 20
cm.
