Ultrasonic Sensor
An Ultrasonic Sensor uses ultrasonic sound to detect the range of an object in which the sound wave is directed towards.

Read Range (cm)
This block returns the distance in centimeters (cm) that the Ultrasonic Sensor detects a object to be.
- Trigger Pin - Is the pin used to activate the ultrasonic ping on the sensor.
- Echo Pin - Is the pin which detects / returns the result of the ultrasonic ping. Basically, the distance detected.
DHT11
The DHT11 is a sensor used to measure temperature and humidity.

Get Temperature
Returns the temperature (in ?) detected by the DHT11 sensor.
- Pin # - The pin number that the DHT11 is attached to.
Get Humidity
Returns the humidity (in ?) detected by the DHT11 sensor.
- Pin # - The pin number that the DHT11 is attached to.
DS18B20
The DS18B20 is a sensored used to measure temperature.
Get Temperature
Returns the temperature in Celsius or Fahrenheit detected by the DS18B20 sensor.
- Pin # - The pin number that the DS18B20 is attached to.
- Temperature Return Type - Select to return temperature in either Celsius or Fahrenheit.
GPS
GPS is used measure location.

Initialize
This block initializes the GPS software and defines the pins that the GPS is connected to. Communication is done with serial communication.
- RX Pin - The pin that the Core modules will receive data from the GPS module.
- TX Pin - The pin that the Core modules will send data to the GPS module.
- Baud Rate - The speed in which data (bits per seconds) is communicated upon.
Read and Print GPS Data
This block loops continuously and reads data from the GPS module.
