  1. The 5V pin is deactivated by default. It requires soldering to activate it. Alternatively, the VIN pin could be used when the Arduino is powered through the USB port.
  2. pulseLength holds the time from sending out the pulse until returning it. So the pulse traveled the distance twice. That is why we have to divide pulseLength by 2.
