+================
+This example shows the usage of an srf04 module.
+The application uses a timer and two gpio pins.
+The module is an ultrasonic range finder with a small protocol [1]:
+- trigger pin is raised high for 10 us by calling trigger function
+- after a sample period of 50 ms the value can be read out
+
+[1] www.robot-electronics.co.uk/htm/srf04tech.htm
+
+Usage
+=====
+
+Build, flash and start the application:
+
+    export BOARD=your_board
+    make flash term
