        Hi,
        You can interface Ultrasonic sensors using Analog input APIs. However I would not recommend it, as ultrasonic sensors are pretty heavy for Pluto. You may still try it.

          Hey, thank you for the reply.
          Can you also help me out with the function to program the ultrasonic sensor on the Pluto?
          It will be really great if you could share the complete program itself.

            Hi,

            Which Ultrasonic sensor do you have ? assuming its HCSR04 , I can help you with code . I have used the same in micro python . The logic is as below .
            code used in micropython
            def get_distance():

            pcf.pin(0,0)
            utime.sleep_us(2)
            pcf.pin(0,1)
            utime.sleep_us(20)
            while pcf.pin(0)==0:
            pass
            t1=utime.ticks_us()
            while pcf.pin(0)==1:
            pass
            t2= utime.ticks_us()
            cm= (t2-t1)/58.0
            print(cm)
            return cm

            i will receive the my drone tomorrow then may be can help with Pluto blocks
