Schematics

The first schematic

You can inspect the way I built my arduino with buzzer, distance sensor and led.

The second schematic

Here is the other schematic.

This schematic is the same as the first one, I wanted to add one more schematic to show you better.

The photo about how it looks like in real.

This is a screenshot from TinkerCan you can inspect.

Code

The code of Car Parking Sensor

C/C++
int trigPin = 7; //Here are the locations of pins
int echoPin = 4;
int buzzerPin = 9; 
int ledPin = 6;
int time;		//Teaching the time and distance to machine
int distance; 

void setup()
{
 pinMode(trigPin, OUTPUT); // sets the trigger pin as an output (sends wave out) 
 pinMode(echoPin, INPUT); // sets the echo pin as the input (receives the echoed sound wave)
 pinMode (buzzerPin, OUTPUT); // sets the buzzer as an output
 pinMode(ledPin, OUTPUT);
}

void loop()
{
 digitalWrite(trigPin, HIGH); //sound waves emitted
 delayMicroseconds(5); // leave on for 5 us
 digitalWrite(trigPin, LOW); // turn off emitter
 int time = pulseIn(echoPin, HIGH); // turn on echo detector
 int distance = (time*0.034)/2;  // speed of sound in air is 340 m/s = 0.034 cm/us. Dividing this value by 2 gives us the distance from the sensor to the object 

if (distance <= 30) {     // if the distance calculates is less than or equal to 30, the buzzer sounds and led blinks

        digitalWrite (buzzerPin, HIGH);
		digitalWrite(ledPin, HIGH);
        delay (200);

        }

  else {                 // if the distance calculated is greater than 30 cm, buzzer is not turned on and the led doesnt blink
    
        digitalWrite (buzzerPin, LOW);
		digitalWrite(ledPin, LOW);
        delay (200);  
  }
}
