I will probably try to get it to trigger a 90 degree turn and 20cm distance. Then I can turn the IR out to cover the side blind spots. I'm not sure how to combine the ultrasound sketch (which works fine on the serial monitor) with my present sketch. Any help would be appreciated, Thanks. Update: ...

Update: Got a lot of help with the sketch.....I was in a little over my head for first arduino project but ended up with it working pretty good. Uses both IR and ultrasound and has serial communication with the MP3 Trigger. I posted latest version in the video.
