need help with the ping range finder

tera

if i have the range finder measuring distance in inches how do get it to trigger a buzzer or an led when an object is within a certain range?

You use an IF statement (see the PBasic manual) to test for a distance between specified bounds like

if (dist < maxDist) and (dist > minDist) then
 ... do something ...
endif

The "do something" depends on what you want to do. Go through the "Whats a Microcontroller?" tutorial for discussions of how to control LEDs or buzzers with a Stamp. You can download the tutorial here: www.parallax.com/html_pages/edu/curriculum/sic_curriculum.asp along with other useful tutorials.
