Radar Emulator with Arduino + Python

In this tutorial, an ultrasonic sensor (HC-SR04) will be used in place of a radio emitter; and a plan position indicator will be constructed in Python by recording the angular movements of a servo motor. An Arduino board will both record the ranging data from the ultrasonic sensor while also controlling and outputting the angular position of the servo motor. This will permit the creation of a PPI for visualizing the position of various objects surrounding the radar system.
