You have a lot of work to do in a day or so.

1) You need to get the sample programs to work with your PING))) so you can see on the debug screen the distance detected by the PING))).

2) You need to get the speaker to "go off" based on the sample code in the manual in the discovery kit.

3) In the PING))) sample program, you use an IF statement like "IF distance > 2000 THEN" or something like that and follow that with the other code from the sample program for the speaker that makes it "go off" and you'll need an "ENDIF" after the noisemaking code.

We won't write the program for you, but will be happy to help you over rough spots and places where you don't understand what the manual says.

You really have to work through the examples in the discovery kit to understand what you're doing.

Look on the product page for the PING))) Ultrasonic sensor. There are example codes there you can download.

joey146,
You need to figure out how the sample code works. If you don't understand where you will need to put the IF THEN, you need to study what the PING))) sample program (PING_Demo.bs2) does and it should become clear.

i have the Ping code working, i just do not understand whether to put the IFTHEN above or below the code. and when i put the IFTHEN in, what speaker code to use

Jed

Try this, page 81 - for IF/THEN/ELSE read the section titled: "Programming Pushbutton Control":
www.parallax.com/Portals/0/Downloads/docs/books/edu/Wamv2_2.pdf

For speaker control code start reading on page 219.
